Ranbir Kapoor, Nitesh Tiwari and Namit Malhotra share their approach in a new behind-the-scenes vignette.

A new “Ramayana: Rise of a Legend” vignette brings together producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari and lead actor Ranbir Kapoor to discuss the work behind adapting the ancient Indian epic for the big screen.

The film opens exclusively at SM Cinemas on November 5, including IMAX and premium formats, according to the Philippine release announcement.

Kapoor plays Rama, a prince whose fate is bound to that of Ravana, an immortal king driven by vengeance.

The cast also includes Yash, Sai Pallavi, Ravie Dubey and Sunny Deol.

In the vignette, Malhotra describes the production as a project that brought together years of filmmaking experience and a global workforce. He says more than 10,000 people worldwide have worked on the film.

Malhotra is also chief executive of visual effects company DNEG. The producer connects the scale of the project with his ambition to give the story the filmmaking resources it requires.

Kapoor discusses the opportunity presented by the production and his response to Tiwari’s vision for the adaptation.

Tiwari, meanwhile, emphasizes the story’s emotional connections: family relationships, an underdog’s journey and a love story that he believes audiences across cultures can understand.

The film’s score brings together Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman.

For Philippine audiences, the new video offers a closer look at the creative intentions behind a production built around sacrifice, vengeance and the prophecy linking its central characters.
