Notary's filmography is filled with notable credits. He has been a motion-capture performer and stunt coordinator for films such as Avatar, the Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn and both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. His experience with these visually spectacular films makes him an ideal choice for the action-heavy sequences that will be a pivotal part of Ramayana.

The decision to bring Notary on board was not made lightly. Director Nitesh Tiwari, known for his meticulous approach to filmmaking, sought someone who could not only choreograph the elaborate battle sequences of Ramayana but also bring a fresh perspective to Indian cinema's portrayal of epic narratives. Notary, who has been involved with the project for over a year, expressed his excitement about working in India for the first time, describing the experience as "crazy but good."

Ramayana is set to be one of the most expensive Indian films ever made, with a reported budget exceeding Rs 800 crore. The film's scale and ambition are evident not only in its casting choices but also in its technical crew. The inclusion of an international talent like Notary underlines the film's goal to create a visual spectacle that appeals to a global audience.

With Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, and actors like Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Raavan, Ramayana aims to blend stellar performances with top-notch technical expertise.

Bringing a story as iconic as the Ramayana to the big screen requires not just a talented cast and crew, but also a deep respect for the source material. Tiwari's decision to enlist Notary's expertise is a testament to his commitment to honoring the epic while also reimagining it in a way that resonates with contemporary audiences. The film's production design, action choreography, and visual effects are all being crafted to ensure that the final product does justice to this revered narrative.
