In their bid to amplify and augment their product to the extreme, the makers of the new version of the Ramayan featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash , Sai Pallavi, and Sunny Deol have turned the product into the most expensive entertainment content of all times.
Trade Guru Taran Adarsh has this to say: “It’s a bit too early to comment on the final budget of Ramayana. Frankly, that’s a question best answered by the producer himself–especially when it comes to how he plans to recover the massive costs involved.That said, I genuinely believe Ramayana is an ambitious project, envisioned for a global audience. Based on a seven-minute clip I had the opportunity to watch, I must say I’m extremely impressed. The first part is currently in post-production, with its release slated for Diwali 2026. However, the release strategy remains under wraps. Whether it will open across the globe like a major Hollywood film remains to be seen.As I said – let’s wait and watch. We’ll know a lot more about the film as the release date draws closer.
Ramayan which is being directed by Nitesh Tiwari is undoubtedly one of the most ambitious and steeply-budgeted projects in the history of Indian cinema.
Producer-director Suneel Darshan says, “Producer Namit Naresh Malhotra of Prime Focus is an ‘out of the box’ visionary. He is looking to create a mega-movie and being amongst the topmost digital studios in the world he’s out to explore an audience-market that transcends barriers. Let’s wish him and his team and collaborators a magnum opus.”
