'Mad Max' Stunt Director Joins Ranbir Kapoor, Yash's 'Ramayana'

Mumbai, May 29 - Kannada superstar Yash has begun filming for epic Ramayana, being directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The actor is playing the role of Raavan alongside Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, and Sunny Deol as Bajrang Bali.

The mega-budgeted two-part epic has roped in a celebrated Hollywood stunt director, Guy Norris, to choreograph action sequences. Norris had previously designed action sequences of "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," "Mad Max: Fury Road," and "The Suicide Squad," among others.



Norris is currently in India working closely with Yash to craft set pieces that could redefine Indian cinema's approach to large-scale spectacle. A couple of pictures of Norris with Yash leaked online, in which the duo seems to be discussing the action scenes.

Ramayana is produced by Yash's Monster Mind Creations and Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios. Malhotra is also the global CEO of visual effects company DNEG, which has won multiple Oscars, and is doing VFX work for Ramayana.

The film will be released in two parts, with the first part scheduled to hit the big screen on Diwali 2026, followed by the second part on Diwali 2027.
