The musical landscape of Indian cinema is witnessing a historic collaboration as highly acclaimed neoclassical musician and sitar virtuoso Rishab Rikhiram Sharma is officially locked to step into Bollywood music scoring with Nitesh Tiwari’s highly awaited mythological epic Ramayana. In a massive creative alliance that is set to redefine theatrical soundscapes, the young maestro has joined forces with global heavyweights including Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer and Indian music legend A.R. Rahman, who are curating the overarching sonic blueprint for the grand two-part magnum opus. Highly placed industry sources close to the massive production house have revealed that the exceptionally talented artist has been brought on board specifically to compose the official title track for the movie’s upcoming trailer, while also contributing crucial musical themes for major character portrayals involving Lord Ram played by Ranbir Kapoor, Lord Hanuman portrayed by Sunny Deol, and Lankesh Ravana essayed by Yash.
The decision to rope in the young maestro stems directly from the visionary filmmakers’ desire to move beyond a standard theatrical background score and instead offer a deeply immersive, psychological experience for global audiences watching the mythological saga unfold. Rishab Rikhiram Sharma, widely known as the youngest and final direct disciple of the legendary sitar icon Pandit Ravi Shankar, has built a massive global reputation in recent years through his pioneering international concert series called Sitar for Mental Health, where he uses classical instruments as an effective tool for sound therapy, deep mindfulness, and anxiety relief. Producers were deeply drawn to his unique capability to touch the human psyche through intricate sound frequencies, choosing him to craft the profound emotional themes for the film’s high-stakes narrative. To achieve this complex musical balance, the artist is utilizing his signature, custom-engineered electronic sitar known as SITARA, masterfully blending ancient classical roots and traditional devotional bhajans with contemporary sound design and original compositions to give each larger-than-life character an entirely unique musical identity.
The exciting announcement comes right on the heels of the spectacular “Pratham Sankalp” red-carpet promotional launch organized at the iconic Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, where Rishab Rikhiram Sharma left an audience of prominent Bollywood celebrities and dignitaries completely spellbound by delivering a stirring live performance of his new song Rama Rama, followed by a powerful rendition of the Shiva Tandav Stotram right before the exclusive trailer preview. The event marked the grand commencement of a historic promotional campaign for the massive multi-starrer film, which features an exceptional ensemble cast including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, and Rakul Preet Singh as Surpankha. Co-produced on an unprecedented budget by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios, DNEG, and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, the visually grand first chapter is officially gearing up for its spectacular worldwide theatrical release during the festive occasion of Diwali 2026, with the highly anticipated official trailer scheduled to drop digitally for audiences across the globe on July 24, 2026.
