His most notable and widely famous work is considered to be in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. He has won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score, for The Lion King (1994) and Dune (2021).In Ramayana, Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi essays the role of Sita, and Sunny Deol plays Lord Hanuman. Part 1 will release in Diwali 2026, while Part 2 is set to hit theatres on Diwali 2027.
