Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana to Have Shorter Version for China Release Due to Censorship
Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's film Ramayana will release in India on November 8 and internationally starting November 6. The Chinese version, titled Ramayana: The Legend of the Prince, is reportedly 33 minutes shorter due to China's censorship rules concerning religious content. The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, adapts the ancient Indian epic and aims to reengage Chinese audiences after a period of limited Indian film releases. The trailer has received mixed reactions since its July release.
