The gastronomy of raw mangoes
The pleasure of eating a mango is so moreish and exquisite that even Hanuman, from the texts of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana by Maharishi Valmiki, mistook the sun for a giant mango and leapt up to eat it.
Excitement is brewing in the world of cinema as Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious project, ‘Ramayana,’ gears up for its big release around Diwali 2025. Ever since the news dropped about this epic trilogy, fans have been eagerly awaiting its arrival on the silver screen. The anticipation has reached a fever pitch, especially with the casting of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita. Recently, snapshots from the set surfaced online, capturing Lara Dutta and Arun Govil in their respective roles.
Govil, famous for his portrayal of Lord Ram in the classic Doordarshan series ‘Ramayan,’ steps into the shoes of King Dasharath. On the other hand, Dutta, adorned in traditional attire, is ready to play the role of Kaikeyi, one of King Dasharath’s wives.
Addressing the swirling rumors about her role, Lara Dutta shared her excitement, saying, “I am hearing it a lot as well. I am leaving the rumors out there. I also like reading and hearing about them, so please continue. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of Ramayana?” She also expressed her interest in other characters like Surpanakha and Mandodari, indicating her enthusiasm for the project.
