ZEE announces London premiere of ‘Humare Ram’ at Eventim Apollo
ZEE Entertainment has announced the UK premiere of the stage production ‘Humare Ram’, which will be staged at the Eventim Apollo in London this July.
Presented in partnership with Felicity Theatre, the large-scale production is based on the epic narrative of the Ramayana and explores lesser-known perspectives from the story. Its London staging will mark the first time the show has been performed in the United Kingdom.
‘Humare Ram’ has previously toured extensively, completing more than 450 performances across 30 cities and attracting more than 800,000 audience members worldwide. The production was most recently staged at the Dubai Opera.
The play is directed by Gaurav Bhardwaj and written by Rahull R Bhuchar and Naresh Katyayan. The cast includes Ashutosh Rana as Ravan and Rahull R Bhuchar as Ram. The production also features music by Shankar Mahadevan, Sonu Nigam and Kailash Kher.
Parul Goel, Territory Head Europe at ZEE Entertainment, said the staging of ‘Humare Ram’ in London forms part of the company’s broader efforts to deepen the presence of the ZEE brand across South Asian communities in the UK and strengthen its cultural engagement with audiences.
“For 31 years, Zee UK has been a cultural ambassador for millions, connecting generations through stories that reflect who we are and where we come from. Partnering with Felicity Theatre for Humare Ram is not just an extension of our events portfolio, it is a landmark cultural moment. We are bringing India’s biggest and most celebrated timeless epic, staged at an unprecedented scale, straight from the heartland of India to the heart of London. Presenting Humare Ram at the iconic Eventim Apollo is a proud reaffirmation of our commitment to championing Indian heritage on the world stage and creating transformative cultural experiences for audiences everywhere.”

Ashutosh Rana said, “London has always held a special place in my heart, and performing here is a privilege I deeply cherish. To bring a character as layered and powerful as Ravan to a stage that has hosted some of the world’s greatest artists is both humbling and exhilarating. As an actor, I have lived many lives on screen and on stage, but Humare Ram is an experience that touches the soul. I am grateful to be part of a production that not only honours our epic tradition but also connects with audiences who carry India in their hearts, no matter where they live.”
Rahull R Bhuchar said, “Humare Ram has been one of the most personal and meaningful creative journeys of my life. As a storyteller, I wanted to explore the deeper emotional layers and lesser-told perspectives of the Ramayana and present them in a way that resonates with modern audiences while still honouring the sanctity of the epic. To now bring this production to London with Zee UK is truly special. It allows us to connect with audiences across borders and share a timeless story that belongs not just to India, but to the world.”
Director Gaurav Bhardwaj added, “Directing Humare Ram has been an incredible artistic journey of blending traditional storytelling with modern theatrical technology. Our vision was to create a spectacle that feels both grand and deeply emotional – where powerful performances, music, visuals, and stagecraft come together to transport audiences into the world of the Ramayana. Bringing this production to London is a proud moment for our entire creative team, and we are excited to present this experience on one of the most iconic stages in the world.”
‘Humare Ram’ will run at the Eventim Apollo in London from 9th to 12th July 2026. Tickets will go on sale on 16th March via the venue’s website, with early access available from 14th March for those who pre-register.
