Ramayana is already making waves across the globe with the unveiling of its first glimpse . Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the project is being envisioned as a grand two-part global spectacle. To mark the occasion of Hanuman Janmotsav, the makers unveiled a special glimpse of Lord Ram, which instantly sparked worldwide conversation. The sheer ambition, scale, and visuals of the project have drawn admiration from international creators and industry insiders alike. Many have highlighted the breathtaking VFX and artistic vision, with global creators Krobin Miles and Rick Segall comparing its visual brilliance to James Cameron’s Avatar.

Global creator Rick Segall was high in his praise for the glimpse, mentioning the high production standards. He said, “In this trailer, for me, the takeaway was that this looked like you’re gonna get the visual artistry of something on the level of Cameron’s Avatar. It’s a lot of time to finish stuff up. This is like the epitome of what it means to be telling an Indian story that I think is coming at the right time for several reasons.” 

Segall further added that the film feels designed for modern, large-scale viewing experiences. He shared, “I think the fact that it looks like it’s built for audiences that have grown to want Marvel and Avatar and the spectacles on IMAX on that large a level. Another thing, though, this trailer gave me the idea that the world needs now really badly, is hope. And I think that’s what this trailer is about.”

Korbin Miles also expressed his excitement about the quality of the footage. He shared, “I knew some of those visuals from stuff I’ve already seen. I thought it looked really, really cool. Obviously, they’re probably still gonna be working on a lot of stuff until the very end.”

Ramayana features a powerhouse cast to bring this age-old narrative to life. Ranbir Kapoor plays the role of Lord Ram, while Sai Pallavi plays Sita. They are joined by Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.

Zendaya has finally addressed those wedding rumours. During an interview with The New York Times’ Modern Love podcast, Zendaya shared that she has heard about the speculations on social media.

She revealed, “There is a level of parasocial investment in in my personal relationship, which I understand. I am aware that I’m a public person and so is he, and I’m also aware that, like, we’ve grown up in front of people, and we’ve done movies where we, like, fall in love with each other. So it’s like, I really do understand that, and I don’t want to dismiss that, like, ‘Stay out of my business,’ or whatever.”

She further added, “In a lot of ways, I also am a very private person and I try my best to be able to have things for myself, and for him as well. And so we do our best, in general, to not hide ourselves from the world, but just to, I think, preserve things for ourselves so that we can maintain that joy just within ourselves and our loved ones and our family.”

But what is her take on the rumours? Zendaya shared, “I hear it, but I also like my own little boundaries of what I like to bring up and talk about, but then also what I’m also willing to share. Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of, and we want to keep it as sacred as possible.”

During the same podcast, Zendaya also revealed how she became sure of her relationship with the Spider-Man star. She said, “There was a certain feeling that I was able to experience when I knew that this is my person because I never feel nervous around them. I feel really peaceful… I actually feel more nervous when I’m away from you than when I’m with you.”

“We first met in an audition, so I was pretty nervous anyway, but he did make me feel calm… just by being a nice person, you know? By making me feel comfortable… He was really lovely then,” the actress noted.
