The makers of Ramayana have released a new character poster featuring Jatayu, the legendary bird who is remembered for his bravery and sacrifice in the Indian epic. Veteran actor Anupam Kher will lend his voice to the character. The poster offers a closer look at Jatayu, highlighting his sharp eyes, strong appearance and large wings. His introduction also brings attention to one of the most memorable moments in the Ramayana, when he tries to stop Ravana from taking Sita away.
Jatayu’s poster carries the title ‘The Wings of Dharma’
The newly released poster shows Jatayu in two different visuals. One focuses on his face and determined eyes, while the other presents him with his wings spread wide. Both images highlight the bird’s powerful appearance and the important role he plays in the story.
The poster carries the title “The Wings of Dharma”, linking Jatayu with courage, duty and the fight for what is right. His story is not remembered only because of his strength, but also because he chooses to act even when he faces a much stronger enemy.
Anupam Kher will voice Jatayu in the film. His casting brings an experienced actor to the character, whose actions form an important part of the larger story. The poster introduces the film’s version of Jatayu, while his full role will become clearer as the story unfolds.
Why Jatayu’s fight against Ravana matters
In the traditional Ramayana, Jatayu sees Ravana carrying Sita away and attempts to rescue her. Knowing the danger, he still chooses to fight Ravana and protect her. However, he is defeated in the battle.
Although Jatayu cannot stop Ravana from taking Sita, his actions are not forgotten. He later tells Rama what happened, helping him understand how Sita was taken away. This makes Jatayu an important link in Rama’s search for her.
Jatayu’s story continues to stand for courage, loyalty and selflessness. He puts himself at risk to help someone in danger, even when the chances of success are against him.
What the new Ramayana poster reveals
The character poster gives audiences an early look at how Jatayu will appear in the film. Its focus on his eyes and outstretched wings draws attention to both his strength and his role in the epic. The title “The Wings of Dharma” also reflects the values associated with his story, particularly the decision to stand against wrongdoing despite the consequences.
