The London photocall also provided an opportunity to celebrate the film’s connection with international audiences, particularly the British South Asian community, for whom the Ramayana remains an important part of cultural identity, storytelling and tradition. With its themes of family, faith, righteousness and resilience, the epic continues to hold relevance across generations and communities.
