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.
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.
