Bigger than Superman and Jurassic World Rebirth

All-Star Cast & Global Tech Ambitions
The project brings together a powerhouse ensemble—Amitabh Bachchan, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, among others. On the technical front, it features world-class visuals: VFX by DNEG, music by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, and global-grade action direction
Grand Vision, Global Ambition
Describing the “largest film in the world for the greatest story,” Malhotra explained the ₹4,000 crore figure—about ₹200 crore per installment, stressing that this is largely self-funded
The aim is clear: present an unmatched cinematic spectacle that transcends borders.
Countdown to Diwali 2026 & 2027 Releases
Ramayana: Part One is targeted for Diwali 2026, with Part Two set for Diwali 2027, building anticipation with a recent motion poster announcing the iconic clash between Lord Ram and Ravana .

With ₹4,000 crore on the line, Ramayana is poised to reshape global perceptions of Indian film production. As Diwali 2026 approaches, all eyes are on whether this monumental gamble delivers both artistic grandeur and lucrative returns.
