Ancient story meets modern cinema

The movie is based on a South Asian epic poem composed between 400 B.C. and A.D. 400. The narrative follows Rama, an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, as he rescues his wife Sita from a demon king.

Previous adaptations in America

American audiences may have already seen characters from this tradition in films like A Little Princess and Black Panther. Director Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming project represents the latest retelling of this long-standing cultural tradition.

Broad media history

People across South Asia have retold these stories through dramas, poems, and television shows for hundreds of years. This new English version aims to bring that specific epic tradition to a wider international audience.
