Radhe Shyam is undoubtedly one of the most awaited films of the year. The period romantic movie stars Prabhas and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles, and thanks to the amazing posters, the movie has already created a good pre-release buzz.

Now, on Monday (30), on the festival of Krishna Janmashtami, the makers of the film have unveiled a new poster featuring Prabhas and Pooja.


The production house, UV Creations, took to Twitter to share the poster. They tweeted, “As we celebrate Janmashtami, let Vikramaditya and Prerna teach you a new meaning of love! ? Here's wishing you all a very Happy Janmashtami! #RadheShyam Starring #Prabhas & @hegdepooja.”

Well, it's a beautiful poster and Pooja's ink-blue gown with peacock feathers surely grabs our attention.

Directed by Radha Krishna Kumar, Radhe Shyam was slated to release in July this year but was postponed due to the pandemic. The makers have now decided to release the film next year on the festival of Makar Sankranti (14th Jan 2022).

While making an announcement about the release date, T-Series had earlier tweeted, “New Year. New Beginnings. And a New Release Date! ?? #RadheShyam all set to release in a theatre near you on Makar Sankranti, 14th January 2022! Starring #Prabhas & @hegdepooja .”

Radhe Shyam is shot in Telugu and Hindi, but it will be dubbed and released in other languages like Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. The movie also stars Bhagyashree in a pivotal role.

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."
