As AR Rahman steps into one of India’s most sacred stories, the internet questions his faith and Rahman responds with grace, facts, and clarity. Calling Ramayan a tale of virtue rather than religion, the Oscar winner opens up about his background, creative fears, and the pressure of reimagining a story every Indian already knows. With Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious vision, a stellar cast, and world-class VFX, Ramayan is shaping up to be more than cinema; it's a cultural moment driven by music, meaning, and unity.
