Social media can truly be a source of distraction. Having realised this, A. R. Rahman has decided to stay away from the internet and focus solely on his work. The music composer announced that he is going on a 40-day digital detox to concentrate on the upcoming Ramayana event. He made the announcement during a live concert in Chennai.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, a source said, “There is a major event for Namit Malhotra–Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana coming up in March 2026, in which all the actors and technicians of the film will be announced to the public. Rahman needs to complete his work before that event. He will be working at a more rapid pace than usual to meet the deadline.”
Rahman, along with international composer Hans Zimmer, has worked on the music of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, which stars Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi. Talking about collaborating with Hans Zimmer, Rahman earlier told The Hollywood Reporter India, “It’s terrifying for both of us. We’re scoring something so iconic and so important to the world. We’re taking something so epic, which every Indian knows, and we have to give them something new — from India to the world.”
He also spoke about his approach to the film’s music, saying they have to unlearn certain instincts while retaining the timeless quality of the epic. Rahman revealed he is working closely with poet Kumar Vishwas, who brings deep knowledge of the Ramayana and the Hindi language to the project.
About the grand Ramayana event
The event is reportedly set to be held on March 27 at the Gateway of India in Mumbai. It will mark the official reveal of the principal characters in the film, which also stars Yash.
Sources indicate that several senior leaders from the state and central government, along with stars from the worlds of entertainment and sports, are expected to attend. According to a report by Mid-Day, Ranbir, who plays Lord Ram, has personally invited family and close associates to the ceremony. Yash portrays Ravana, Sai Pallavi essays Sita, while Sunny Deol plays Hanuman and Ravi Dubey takes on the role of Lakshman.
