Ranbir Kapoor and Yash Open Gold House's Biggest Diwali Event in LA as South Asian Shorts Fund Launches

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, the stars of the upcoming epic "Ramayana: Rise of a Legend," headlined Gold House's largest Gold Diwali celebration yet at The Majestic Downtown in Los Angeles. The actors were joined by director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra just one week before the film's release, giving a high-profile boost to the event and the film. The event also marked the launch of the South Asian Shorts Fund, a new initiative by Gold House to support short-form storytelling from South Asian creators. The fund aims to address underrepresentation and provide resources for emerging voices, reflecting Gold House's broader mission to back and celebrate the Asian Pacific community. With the confluence of a major film release and a new funding initiative, the evening highlighted the growing influence of South Asian talent in Hollywood and the increasing investment in diverse narratives. The presence of such prominent figures underscores the cultural and commercial momentum behind South Asian stories. As the fund opens for applications, it signals a tangible step toward more inclusive storytelling in the industry.
