The reveal is part of the film’s ongoing character introductions as anticipation builds around the ambitious two-part adaptation of the Ramayana.
What Does the New Jatayu Poster Reveal?
The newly unveiled poster focuses on Jatayu’s courage and sense of duty. Its title, “The Wings of Dharma,” reflects the character’s role in the epic, in which he attempts to stop Ravana from abducting Sita.
Announcing the reveal on social media, the makers described Jatayu as a figure who rises to confront evil despite the odds. The promotional caption identifies Anupam Kher as the voice behind the character.
The poster offers another glimpse into the film’s interpretation of important figures from the ancient epic, with the makers gradually introducing characters ahead of the movie’s theatrical release.
Who Is Jatayu in the Ramayana?
Jatayu is a noble bird and an ally of Rama’s family in the Ramayana. He becomes central to the story when he witnesses Ravana abducting Sita and attempts to rescue her.
Although Jatayu is unable to overpower Ravana, he fights to stop the abduction. His intervention demonstrates courage, sacrifice and a commitment to protecting what is right, even when victory seems unlikely.
Jatayu’s actions also help Rama learn what happened to Sita. The character remains a memorable figure in the epic because he risks his life to defend her rather than stand aside in the face of injustice.

Anupam Kher, one of Indian cinema’s most recognisable actors, will lend his voice to Jatayu in Ramayana. The casting brings an experienced performer to a character whose importance lies not only in his role in the story but also in the values he represents.
