Maharashtra CM on Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana

During the Waves Summit 2025, Maharashtra CM had a chat with writer-producer Namit Malhotra and praised the production of the film, Ramayana.

He said we are the world’s oldest storytellers and our art, drama, and music are very old, and we only wanted to couple it with the latest technology. "I think that’s what you are doing. So, yesterday, when I visited your pavilion with the Prime Minister, I was amazed to see the quality of Ramayana that you are creating. I think this is the way we need to tell our stories to the new generation, and I believe what you are setting up will be the best in the globe," he said.
