# Anupam Kher voices Jatayu in ‘Ramayana’, bookings open on Dussehra 2026-10-13T09:42:00+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The makers of Namit Malhotra's 'Ramayana' have released a poster of Jatayu, voiced by Anupam Kher. The poster, titled ‘The Wings of Dharma’, shows the bird’s intense gaze and spread wings. Jatayu is a key figure in the epic who attempts to rescue Sita from Ravana. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Part 1 stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. It releases worldwide on 5 November 2026. India TV reports that advance bookings will begin on Dussehra, with eight days to go. Times of India says Part 2 is planned for Diwali 2027. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets cover the reveal neutrally, repeating the same poster campaign details, the film’s cast and the 5 November 2026 release date. Times of India leads with the character’s epic significance and ends on the creative ensemble, while India TV adds the booking-start date (Dussehra) and the Rs 4,000 crore production budget from DNEG, giving the story a commercial framing alongside the artistic one. Neither outlet offers any political or government slant on this entertainment story. The balanced takeaway is the film’s steady promotional build: the next concrete milestone is the advance ticket opening on Dussehra, eight days from today. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Led with character's epic role, added film ensemble detail - indiatvnews.com (neutral report) Added booking date and Rs 4000 cr budget This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
