Rakul Preet Singh's look as Surpanakha in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming Ramayana has been unveiled, blending traditional mythological styling with modern fashion. The character features a sculpted metallic corset with gold leaf detailing, antique gold jewellery including layered necklaces and a matha patti, and gold body chains over crimson drapes. The beauty look uses smoky eyes and glossy nude lips, while her hair is styled in untamed waves for a raw, intense appearance. According to Bollywood Hungama, the transformation aims to present Surpanakha as regal, powerful and visually striking, moving beyond conventional depictions of the character.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

This reveal comes as Ramayana, one of the most expensive Indian film productions, prepares for a multi-part release. The choice to give Surpanakha a glamorous, contemporary look marks a shift from the demonised portrayals common in earlier adaptations. The film's cast includes Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita, with a reported budget exceeding Rs 500 crore. The first part is slated for release in 2026.
