Maestro Ilaiyaraaja has officially joined the technical crew of the upcoming film ‘Valmiki Ramayana’.
Directed by Bhavna Talwar and adapted for the screen by Anand Neelakantan, the project is being envisioned as a grand “musical invocation” and a theatrical retelling of the timeless epic.
Ilaiyaraaja joins an elite creative team including cinematographer Binod Pradhan, production designer Sabu Cyril, and sound designer Resul Pookutty.
The film, which features Lord Ram’s journey as a spiritual offering, is officially slated for a grand theatrical release on October 2, 2026, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti.
