Ranbir Kapoor, director Nitesh Tiwari, actor Ravie Dubey and producer Namit Malhotra have come together for a conversation with students about the values and characters of the Ramayana. Titled Har Yug Mein Ram: A Conversation with Young Leaders, the special episode will stream exclusively on JioHotstar from November 1.
Organised by JioHotstar in partnership with the makers of Ramayana and the International Institute of Management and Entrepreneurship (I.I.M.U.N.), the initiative brought together nearly 20,000 students from more than 500 schools across 18 cities. The event aimed to explore how the epic’s themes of duty, courage, friendship, love, forgiveness and sacrifice continue to resonate with younger audiences.

He added that the conversation reminded him how different generations can find their own meaning in Rama’s journey while continuing to connect with its familiar themes.
