Ramayana: A mega project with powerful storytelling
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film is conceived as a cinema in two parts. Set around 5000 years ago, the story promises to be a modern technological emotion storytelling recreation of the epic in a brand new way that is both respectful and modern.
The project is being put-up on a huge scale with global collaboration. It is backed by Prime Focus Studios, together with Oscar winning VFX company DNEG and Monster Mind Creations.
Star-studded cast adds to the excitement
The film has an impressive ensemble. Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the role of Lord Ram while Sai Pallavi will be portraying the role of Sita. Yash steps into the powerful roles of Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. With such a strong cast and large-scale production, expectations are already sky-high.
Release timeline locked for festive seasons
The makers have planned a strategic release for both parts. The first instalment will hit theatres during Diwali 2026, followed by the second part in Diwali 2027. The film is also set for a worldwide IMAX release, promising a larger-than-life theatrical experience.
With the Rama glimpse arriving soon, the journey of this ambitious retelling is finally moving into its next big phase. Fans can expect a visual spectacle that aims to bring one of India’s most loved stories to screens like never before.
