SDCC EXCLUSIVE: Director Nitesh Tiwari Chats His New Movie, ‘RAMAYANA’

BB had the opportunity to speak with director, Nitesh Tiwari at San Diego Comic Con this past weekend. The director was at the Con promoting his new movie, Ramayana.

During our conversation, Tiwari revealed how he came to be attached to the project, 10 years ago, and what it means to adapt this story.

“Since the beginning of time, the Trinity Gods rule the three worlds; Brahma – god who creates; Vishnu – god who protects; and Shiva – god who transforms. As the realms of heaven, earth edge toward chaos, the Trinity god Vishnu descends to earth in an avatar to restore balance. This time, Vishnu is reborn as RAMA (Ranbir Kapoor), a human prince destined to restore balance. Opposing him, stands the most formidable, learned, undefeatable and immortal demon king RAVANA (Yash), blessed by the Trinity themselves, driven by pride and a vengeance powerful enough to shatter the cosmos.”

The first movie in the two part series is set to be released this October.
