In Nitesh Tiwari's mythological epic, 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend', traditional cane craftsmanship from Jania Banglipara village in Assam's Barpeta district played a significant role. Master artisan Jaynal Abdin led a 15-member team that handcrafted approximately 30 to 35 pieces of cane-and-rubber armour for the film, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The project did not reach Jaynal directly but was first presented by Abdul Malek of the local organization Gram Unnayan. Despite the technical challenges of making wearable armour from stiff cane for high-intensity film scenes, the artisans worked tirelessly over three years, even sending finished jackets straight to Guwahati Airport to meet urgent shooting needs in Mumbai. The project was kept a secret until its release on November 5, with Jaynal expressing immense pride for his team, himself, and the entire Barpeta district. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, 'Ramayana' features Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash in lead roles.
