One of the biggest and most awaited projects of Indian cinema, the enthusiasm of the fans about director Nitesh Tiwari's film 'Ramayana' is at its peak. The makers have unveiled the character posters of two very important and story-changing characters of this epic. In the film, Bollywood's beautiful actress Lara Dutta will be seen as Rani Kaikeyi and veteran actress Sheeba Chadha will be seen as Dasi Manthara. The new posters of these two have gone viral as soon as they surfaced on social media, in which their attitude and style are worth seeing.
Lara Dutta's royal and powerful avatar as Queen Kaikeyi
In the new poster that has surfaced, Lara Dutta is seen in a very grand and royal style as Queen Kaikeyi. Dressed in traditional clothes and heavy royal jewellery, the arrogance of a queen and a different seriousness is clearly visible on the face of Lara Dutta. Kaikeyi is the character in the story of Ramayana, whose two wishes changed the lives of King Dasharatha and Lord Rama as well as the history of the entire Ayodhya forever. While sharing this poster, the makers have written that those two desires challenging the love of a queen, a mother and a father, will change the fate of Ram forever.
Sheeba Chaddha's vicious and different style in the role of Manthara
Apart from Kaikeyi, Sheeba Chaddha's Manthra look from the film has also attracted everyone's attention. Manthara is the same character whose devious and sharp words (whispers) sowed the seeds of doubt in Kaikeyi's mind, thereby beginning the greatest and darkest phase of the epic. In the poster, Sheeba Chaddha's look is quite different and she is seen holding some special things in her hand. The intensity of his facial expressions and eyes testify to the fact that he is ready to bring this negative but important character to life on screen with full intensity.
After Arun Govil, now the curtain rises on these characters
Earlier, the makers had released the look of veteran actor Arun Govil, who has become a household name as Lord Ram on TV, as 'King Dasharatha', which was very much liked by the audience. Now these new posters of Lara Dutta and Sheeba Chaddha have further increased the curiosity about the film's starcast and its grand scale. In this film, Ranbir Kapoor will be seen playing the role of Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi Mata Sita, Rocking Star Yash Ravana, Sunny Deol Hanuman and Ravi Dubey Laxman.
When and where will this epic be released?
'Ramayana', being produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with 8-time Oscar-winning company DNEG and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, will be released in two parts. The first part of the film i.e. 'Ramayana: Part One' will hit the theaters across the world on Diwali 2026 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam languages, while its second part will be released in Diwali 2027.
