Mani Ratnam has created an anthology titled Navarasa which is all set to start streaming on Netflix on 6th August 2021. The anthology has nine segments, directed by nine different directors.

On Tuesday (27), Netflix India South took to Twitter to unveil the trailer of the film.

Well, the trailer doesn’t give out much about the storyline of the segments. However, it looks very interesting and we are looking forward to it.

The release date of Navarasa was announced a couple of weeks ago, and the announcement video was simply amazing. It had all the actors from the anthology showcasing the nine emotions.

Navarasa has some of the most talented actors from the South Indian film industry. The anthology stars Siddharth, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Vijay Sethupathi, Prakash Raj, Revathi, Suriya, Atharvaa, Yogi Babu, Arvind Swami, Bobby Simha, Aditi Balan, and others.

The nine directors who have helmed Navarasa are Arvind Swami, Bejoy Nambiar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sarjun KM, Priyadarshan, Karthick Naren, Karthik Subbaraj, Vasanth, and Rathindran R. Prasad.

This will be the second South Indian anthology that we will get to watch on Netflix. In February this year, the Telugu anthology titled Pitta Kathalu had started streaming on the digital platform.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
