Featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita Maa, this movie is set to revolutionize the way epics are told in Indian cinema. The first part is expected to depict the childhood of Lord Ram and Sita, their marriage and 14-years vanvas.
A List of Famous Actors and Actresses and Other Crew Members
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has a very star-studded cast list that comprises Bollywood and South Indian movie stars. Ranbir Kapoor will play the character of Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi will be Sita Maa. Furthering the anticipation, there are reports that KGF’s Yash will be essaying the role of the antagonist Raavan. Other actors in the cast are Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Vijay Sethupathi, Arun Govil and Bobby Deol, all giving their own style to the great epic. This diverse and talented cast will guarantee that the film is a cinematic spectacle that will be attractive to a wide audience base.
Off camera, Nitesh Tiwari, who has directed the super hit films like Dangal, is handling the movie and hence there would be no compromise on the quality of the movie. The shooting of the film is being done very professionally and with great care as 12 large sets have been built for shooting. It is proposed to use modern technologies for creating VFX in order to make the audience immerse in the world of Ramayana as never before in the movies.
Budget and Release Plans
The budget for Ramayana has been estimated to be at a whopping 825 crores, which only goes to show the extent of the film’s vision. This huge amount of money should be seen in the film’s appearance, including the effects and the sets. Originally, the film was to be made in three installments, but due to the circumstances, it will be released in two parts, with the first part almost ready, and the second part to go on the floor soon.
The movie is still in the post production stage and this is expected to take about 600 days. Due to the amount of work that is going to be put into it, the first part of Ramayana is expected to be out by 2027. This timeline shows that there is a lot of care taken so that every aspect of the film is done to the best ability.
There is much hoopla about Ramayana and it does have all the ingredients to turn into a box office hit. The expectations are high due to Nitesh Tiwari’s direction, the star-cast and the feeling of déjà vu accompanying the epic tale. Audience is waiting for the movie and the movie is expected to be a milestone in the Indian film industry.
