Namit Malhotra, one of the key figures behind the project, took to Instagram to share a personal message on this journey. He revealed that his vision to bring Ramayana to the big screen has been years in the making. His post reflected a deep reverence for the story, describing it as a tale that has lived in people’s hearts for over 5,000 years. His excitement for this dream finally coming to life was evident, and he shared his gratitude for the dedicated team working to honor the epic’s cultural and spiritual depth.

The film has already drawn significant buzz, thanks to its star-studded cast. Ranbir Kapoor will portray Lord Ram, with Sai Pallavi stepping into the role of Sita, and Kannada star Yash bringing his intensity to the character of Ravan. Sunny Deol and Lara Dutta round out the cast as Hanuman and Kaikeyi, respectively. With each role carrying such iconic weight, the casting has only added to the anticipation.

According to reports, Ranbir has wrapped up most of his scenes for Part One, dedicating himself to this portrayal of Ram with close collaboration alongside Tiwari and the production team. Meanwhile, Yash is expected to start filming for his role as Ravan in December, diving in right after completing his current project.

Music aficionados have another reason to keep an eye on Ramayana, with the soundtrack set to feature original compositions by none other than AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Together, they’re crafting a soundscape that aims to match the grandeur and emotion of this timeless tale.

Produced by DNEG, Ramayana seems to be shaping up as one of Indian cinema’s boldest and most ambitious projects, promising a visually rich retelling of a story known and loved across generations. With its Diwali releases set for 2026 and 2027, fans now have a timeline to look forward to as they await this epic clash of good and evil on the big screen.
