MrBeast appears at Mumbai preview of costliest Indian Ramayana film

YouTuber MrBeast was present at the exclusive media preview of Nitesh Tiwari’s two-part Ramayana in Mumbai on Saturday, standing beside lead actor Ranbir Kapoor and co-star Sai Pallavi. The event, limited to selected press, showcased the film’s scale and allowed the guests to pose together; Ravie Dubey also appeared in the photos. During a brief interaction, Ranbir asked MrBeast to repeat the chant "Jai Shri Ram", which the YouTuber did, prompting loud applause. Ranbir then explained the phrase’s meaning before chatting with the creator. Tiwari’s adaptation of Valmiki’s epic is being billed as the costliest Indian movie produced so far. Ranbir plays Lord Rama, Yash portrays Ravana, and Sai Pallavi takes the role of Sita, supported by an ensemble that includes Sunny Deol, Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, Kunal Kapoor and others. Part One is slated for a November release, while Part Two will arrive the following year ahead of Diwali. The team recently launched the first song, "Jai Jai Ram", together with a motion poster released on Ganesh Chaturthi that features Ranbir as Rama and Sai as Sita. Producer Namit Malhotra said the festival was chosen because it marks an auspicious start in Indian tradition; he added that the track is meant to capture the timeless devotion to Shri Ram and serve as a source of strength for the audience. The preview highlighted both the film’s grand production values and its emotional core.
