In the Ramayana, every character plays a role in the progression of the story, and Surpanakha’s presence marks a significant turning point. Though often introduced briefly, her actions initiate the chain of events that lead to Sita’s abduction and the eventual conflict between Ram and Ravan.
Who is Surpanakha and why does her role in Ramayana matter? Rakul Preet Singh to play the character in Namit Malhotra and Nitesh Tiwari’s epic
Mythological references have often described Surpanakha as strikingly beautiful and commanding in appearance. Her encounter with Ram and Lakshman is one of the earliest turning points in the epic, and the ripple effect of her actions shapes the very heart of Ramayana. That is precisely why casting this character with the right face matters.
Rakul Preet Singh takes on the role of Surpanakha in Namit Malhotra’s retelling of the Ramayana. Her casting brings a new interpretation to the character, offering a contemporary lens on a figure often overlooked in traditional narratives.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film features Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravan, with Rakul Preet Singh joining as Surpanakha. Her role is significant not just for what it sets in motion, but for how it grounds the story in emotion, action, and consequence. With Rakul in the role, the character is viewed through a refreshed lens.
