Big Update: Ramayana, Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Will Be Released in 2027

Without a doubt, one of the most anticipated films of the year is Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana. Fans of the actor have been eagerly awaiting the release of Nitesh Tiwari’s film in theatres ever since the actor’s images of Lord Ram appeared online.

The makers of Ramayana intend to premiere the Ranbir Kapoor film in 2027, according to trade analyst Sumit Kadel. This implies that before viewers can witness Ranbir in the role of Lord Ram on television, they will have to wait about three years.

Bollywood Hungama was informed by a reliable source that the film is being produced on an enormous budget of Rs 835 crore. “Ramayana is more than simply a movie; it’s an emotion, and the filmmakers are doing all in their power to make it a worldwide spectacle. The entire budget of USD 100 million (₹835 crore) is allocated to Ramayana: Part One. As the franchise grows, he (Namit Malhotra) intends to expand this even more. With Ranbir Kapoor portraying Lord Ram, the plan is to provide the viewers to a visual feast, the insider claimed.

The insider added that Ramayana requires at least 600 days of post-production work and that the directors hope to establish Indian cinema as a major force in the world.

Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi will play Ram and Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, respectively. It’s also likely that Yash will play Ravana in the movie. In addition, the actor co-produces the film. “It has been my long-term aspiration to make films that will showcase Indian cinema on a global level. In pursuit of that, I was in L.A. to ally with one of the best VFX studios, and to my amazement, the driving force behind it was a fellow Indian. Namit and I had various ideation sessions, and coincidentally, our synergy on the vision for Indian cinema aligned perfectly. We brainstormed various projects, and during these discussions, the subject of ‘Ramayana’ came up. Namit had a part of it in the works,” Yash told Variety in April this year but did not mention anything about his role.

Arun Govil and Lara Dutta will also play significant roles in Ramayana. According to reports, Sunny Deol has also been cast by the makers to play Hanuman. As of right now, though, there has been no formal confirmation of this.
