Actor Ranbir Kapoor recently reconnected with his ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ co-star Poorna Jagannathan at the star-studded Los Angeles premiere of ‘Ramayana: Rise of a Legend’.
Jagannathan, who had a memorable cameo as a TV show host in the 2013 blockbuster alongside Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, attended the event and shared her excitement.
Poorna Jagannathan took to social media to share glimpses from the premiere, expressing her admiration for the film and Ranbir Kapoor’s performance. She lauded the epic as a “cinematic feat” and strongly recommended viewing it in 3D. Her praise for Kapoor was particularly notable, stating he is “magnetic in this, and was born to play this role and wear this crown.”
This reunion brought back memories for fans of ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, where Jagannathan’s brief but impactful role added a unique flavour to the narrative. Her presence at the ‘Ramayana’ premiere, supporting her former co-star, highlights the camaraderie within the industry.
‘Ramayana: Rise of a Legend’ is shaping up to be a monumental cinematic undertaking. Ranbir Kapoor leads the cast as Lord Rama, with Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios, in collaboration with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, the film is planned as a two-part epic. ‘Ramayana: Part 1’ is slated for a worldwide release on November 5, 2026, with the second part expected during Diwali 2027. The Los Angeles premiere offered an early look at this ambitious project.
