Humare Ram to premiere internationally at Dubai Opera

The visionary creators of Humare Ram, a groundbreaking theatrical retelling of the Ramayana, brought the magic of their production to Dubai ahead of its much-anticipated international premiere at Dubai Opera from 14 to 17 August 2025.

An exclusive press conference at Taj Business Bay united the show’s acclaimed cast, creative minds, and production team for an inspiring evening that offered the media and invited guests a rare glimpse into one of India’s most celebrated stage productions.

With over 500,000 live viewers, 300 sold-out shows, and performances across 25 Indian cities, Humare Ram has redefined Indian stagecraft. Its Dubai debut marks a milestone — introducing a world-class theatrical experience that blends spiritual depth with cutting-edge production design. Tickets for the first two shows on 14 and 15 August are almost sold out, while 16 and 17 August are filling rapidly, with two performances on each day to meet demand.

The production reimagines the Ramayana not merely as mythology but as a timeless philosophy that resonates across generations and cultures.

The cast and creators
The ensemble features some of India’s finest talent in theatre and television:

• Ashutosh Rana – Renowned actor delivering a layered and introspective portrayal of Ravan

• Rahull R Bhuchar – Founder of Felicity Theatre, lead actor (Shri Ram), playwright, and creative visionary behind the production

• Harleen Kaur Rekhi – Brings strength and grace to the role of Sita

• Danish Akhtar – Hanuman, with commanding presence and heartfelt energy

• Tarun Khanna – Lord Shiva, portrayed with serene intensity

• Karan Sharma – Surya, adding warmth and emotional resonance

"To play Ravan is not to play the villain. It is to embody ego, intellect, and the complex nature of dharma," reflected Ashutosh Rana.
"Humare Ram is not just a performance. It’s our offering — an emotional, spiritual, and visual experience designed to reconnect a generation with the Ramayana in a cinematic, grand, and soulfully authentic way," shared Rahull Bhuchar.

What sets the show apart

• Original compositions by Sonu Nigam, Shankar Mahadevan, and Kailash Kher

• Immersive LED projection mapping and cinematic visuals meeting global theatre standards

• Aerial choreography, bespoke costumes, and refined lighting

• Rarely depicted chapters of the Ramayana offering fresh, thought-provoking perspectives

With over 3.5 million Indians in the UAE, Humare Ram is more than theatre — it’s a cultural homecoming, appealing to scholars, spiritual seekers, theatre lovers, and global citizens alike. The production has earned praise from the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Alia Bhatt, Vidya Balan, and Ranbir Kapoor.

Press conference highlights
The evening included an introduction by the producers, a panel discussion with the cast and creative team, behind-the-scenes footage, and one-on-one media interviews. The most memorable moments came from the heartfelt reflections of Ashutosh Rana and Rahull Bhuchar, who spoke about the philosophical depth and creative journey behind the show.

Critics have hailed the production as “transformation on stage” (The Statesman) and “a Broadway moment for Indian mythology” (Firstpost).

As the Dubai Opera premiere approaches, Humare Ram promises to deliver an unforgettable fusion of storytelling, spirituality, and theatrical brilliance.
