Bobby Deol's involvement as Kumbhkaran adds further intrigue to the star-studded lineup, with additional speculation surrounding Vijay Sethupathi's role as Vibhishan, Raavan's youngest brother.

In preparation for his portrayal of Lord Ram, Kapoor is reported to have undergone extensive voice and diction training, aiming to infuse the character with a distinct and recognisable tone.

The 8-hour rebellion: Deepika Padukone walked off a blockbuster and lit a fire under Bollywood’s toxic work culture

It didn’t take a walkout on a picket line or a fiery press conference to shake the Indian film industry; it took Deepika Padukone quietly demanding, “Eight hours.” No dramatic monologue or sensational tweets.
