Poet Kumar Vishwas Unique Link to India’s Most Expensive Ramayana Film

As acclaimed poet Kumar Vishwas celebrates his birthday, many are revisiting not just his literary journey but also his special role in one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious films — the upcoming epic adaptation of the Ramayana. Born on February 10, 1970, in Pilkhuwa, Uttar Pradesh, Vishwas has built a reputation over three decades as a popular poet, speaker, and lyricist with wide cultural appeal.

From Poetry to Cinema

While many know Kumar Vishwas for his poetry recitations, motivational talks, and Ram Katha storytelling sessions that bring the ancient epic to life, his connection to the big screen is now historic. He has been entrusted with writing the lyrics for the songs in the monumental Ramayana film, a project that’s being touted as one of the most expensive Indian films ever made — with reported investments in the thousands of crores.

In this film, the poetic depth Vishwas brings is expected to merge with the musical genius of A R Rahman and Hans Zimmer, combining Indian melody with global orchestration. Collaborating with such legendary music directors elevates the lyrical storytelling to a cinematic spectacle, potentially creating songs that resonate across generations.

A Cultural Bridge in Music

Vishwas’s association with the film highlights how poetry and cinema can intersect to reinterpret ancient narratives in modern forms. His lyrical contributions are expected to add emotional layers to the film’s soundtrack — whether in devotional sequences, dramatic moments, or celebratory songs — ensuring that the epic tale of Lord Ram’s life stays true to its cultural roots while appealing to today’s audiences.

Through roles in films, poetry shows, and public storytelling events, Kumar Vishwas has long worked to connect the timeless themes of love, duty, and righteousness from the Ramayana with contemporary life. Being part of such a massive cinematic adaptation marks a milestone not just in his career, but in the fusion of Indian literary tradition with global film art.

As the film’s release draws near, his involvement continues to be a point of pride and excitement for fans of poetry and mythology alike — proving that even as cinema grows bigger, the power of words still lies at its heart.
