This Saturday marks director Nitesh Tiwari's birthday. The filmmaker, who is best known for Dangal and Chhichhore, is attached to the two films based on the mythological epic Ramayana. Vivek Oberoi also plays a character in the upcoming film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash in the lead roles.

Earlier this Saturday, the actor took to social media and shared a few thoughts about Nitesh Tiwari and his experience working on the upcoming film. "They say a director holds a mirror to the world of cinema, but with you, Nitesh Bhai, your canvas transcends ordinary storytelling. Your art and your vision are truly out of this world. The way you look at a story, the depth, the scale, and the absolute purity of human emotion you capture is rare. It takes a master to weave such a profound creative vision with absolute humility," Vivek wrote.

The actor also talked about what it feels like to be part of a Nitesh Tiwari set. "Working with you during Ramayana has been nothing short of magical. Stepping onto your set felt less like a shoot and more like being a part of something spiritual and transformative. Your guidance, your clarity, and that calm, anchoring energy you bring to the chaos of filmmaking truly brought magic to life for all of us. It is an experience I will always hold close to my heart."

Vivek Oberoi ended his post by wishing Nitesh "a successful year" ahead.

In a recent conversation with The Hindustan Times, Vivek said that Nitesh and producer Namit Malhotra would take Indian cinema to international heights with Ramayana and called it the country's "answer to Hollywood epics". The actor also spoke about the involvement of an Academy Award-winning VFX team in the film. Speaking of which, Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman are also part of the film's technical team.
