Rakul Preet Singh dons regal look as Surpanakha for upcoming Ramayana adaptation

Rakul Preet Singh is set to portray Surpanakha in a new Ramayana adaptation, and the actress has shared a glimpse of the extensive transformation required for the mythic role. The look, described as regal and imposing, involves a richly embroidered costume that draws on traditional Indian textile motifs while incorporating contemporary design elements to enhance visual impact.

The makeup team has applied intricate facial prosthetics and elaborate eye makeup to accentuate Surpanakha’s fierce character. Dark, smoky shades are paired with gold highlights, and the actress’s hair is styled into a towering, ornate headdress that reflects the queen‑like stature of the demoness.

According to the entertainment portal Bollywood Hungama, the final ensemble aims to balance authenticity with cinematic grandeur, ensuring that the iconic figure is recognizable yet fresh for modern audiences. The production team expects the visual presentation to be a key attraction when the series premieres later this year.
