The film boasts an impressive cast, including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, and Kannada superstar Yash as Ravan. The first part of the film is set to release on Diwali 2026, with the second part following on Diwali 20271.
Namit Malhotra, who has been passionate about adapting the epic for over a decade, shared his vision for the project in a series of posts on his X (formerly Twitter) handle. “More than a decade ago, I embarked on a noble quest to bring this epic that has ruled billions of hearts for over 5000 years to the big screen,” he wrote1. “Today, I am thrilled to see it taking shape beautifully as our teams work tirelessly with only one purpose: to present the most authentic, sacred, and visually stunning adaptation of our history, our truth, and our culture—our RAMAYANA.”
The film is being made on a budget of ₹835 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film to date. The majority of the budget will be used for CGI and post-production to bring the epic tale to life2. The soundtrack is composed by A. R. Rahman alongside Hans Zimmer, marking Zimmer’s debut in Indian cinema.
Fans and well-wishers have been eagerly awaiting updates on the film, and Ranbir’s recent comments have only added to the excitement. “Just to be a part of that story, I am so humbled to essay Ram’s role,” Ranbir said. “It’s a film that has everything.”
As the release date approaches, all eyes will be on Ranbir Kapoor and the rest of the cast as they bring this timeless epic to life on the big screen.
