The global anticipation for Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic, Ramayana, reached a fever pitch this week as the film made its presence felt on the world’s most famous stage. Actor Ravi Dubey, who portrays the pivotal role of Lakshman, was recently featured on a massive billboard at Times Square, New York. The stunning visual, which showcases Dubey in his divine avatar, has sent ripples of excitement across the international film community.
In the Instagram post Ravi Dubey expressed his deep gratitude for the international recognition. “I’m honestly overwhelmed,” the actor stated. “To see a character that is so deeply rooted in our Indian heritage being showcased at the crossroads of the world is a dream I didn’t even know I had. It’s a testament to the scale and vision of Nitesh sir’s Ramayana.”
Dubey, who has transitioned from a successful television career to leading major cinematic projects, noted that the honor belongs to the entire team. The billboard serves as a precursor to the film’s global marketing campaign, signaling that this retelling of the ancient epic is intended for a worldwide audience.
This international spotlight follows recent praise from Dubey’s co-stars, including Ranbir Kapoor, regarding the intense discipline on set. To play Lakshman, Dubey reportedly underwent a rigorous physical and spiritual transformation, aiming to capture the fierce loyalty and grounded strength of the character.
With a cast featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana, Ramayana is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious projects in Indian history. The appearance of the Lakshman billboard in New York suggests that the producers are eyeing a massive international release, positioning the film as India’s answer to global fantasy franchises.
As fans share photos of the Times Square display, the momentum for Ramayana continues to build, proving that the stories of the past are ready to conquer the future on a truly global scale.
