Shiamak Davar to choreograph Ranbir Kapoor in Ramayana, says, 'I am very excited'

Choreographer Shiamak Davar has confirmed that he will be handling the dance sequences for Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious adaptation of the Ramayana, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash in key roles. The announcement adds another layer of anticipation to a film that has already drawn intense attention for its scale, casting, and visual vision.

Speaking to Instant Bollywood, Davar shared a brief but telling insight into his approach. He noted that working on Ramayana requires a very different sensibility compared to his earlier mainstream choreography work. He said, “Abhi yeh jo naya film kar raha hun woh 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai' nahi hai, woh 'Ramayana' hai. I am very excited, So let’s wait and see what happens.” The line makes it clear that while dance remains central to his craft, this project demands a tone, movement language, and emotional depth that go beyond typical Bollywood song-and-dance routines.

Davar added that the difference is exactly what excites him. “This will be very different, isliye mai kar raha hun,” he said, indicating that the mythological framework gives him the chance to explore choreography in a more spiritual and narrative-driven direction. Unlike high-energy pop-jazz numbers he is known for, Ramayana may lean into cultural movement traditions, symbolic physicality, and character storytelling through posture and gesture.
