Ramayana's budget has caused a major stir among the audience. This film stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role and Sai Pallavi in the female lead role, and it's heading to be one of the biggest films from Bollywood.
Ramayana is gaining worldwide attention due to its ambitious scale, stellar cast, massive budget, and the powerful musical collaboration between Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, who are composing the background score.
The film has caused a major buzz with its teaser drop, sparking a wave of conversations, one of the biggest being about the budget of the mythological duology. Recently, there was a rumour that the budget of the film stands at Rs 1600 crore. Now, the makers have finally reacted to the topic.
In a podcast with Prakhar Gupta, producer Namit Malhotra shared that Ramayana is a project he considers his lifetime project. When questioned about the total budget, the producer said, “Budget-wise, it was like… everybody thought I’m a lunatic because no Indian film by a long distance… comes close to it. To put it simply, it will be like 500 million dollars by the time we are done on both films put together Part One and Part Two which is over Rs 4000 crores.”
Namit went on to add, “I say it like we are making the largest film in the world for the greatest story, the greatest epic that the world should see.”
Namit then emphasized that even after the massive investment, it’s relatively low compared to that of Hollywood. And he still thinks it’s cheaper than some of the big Hollywood films. So he thinks they are making a bigger film at a lower cost.
Ramayana has managed to cause an electrifying buzz and excitement among fans for the project. Ramayana features an ensemble of stellar cast members - from main leads Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, to Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Rakul Preet Singh as Shurpanakha, and Kajal Dutta as Mandodari.
Ramayana is planned as a duology, with the first part set to release on Diwali 2026 and the final part scheduled for Diwali 2027. The first part is rumoured to conclude with Sita Haran, although nothing has been confirmed yet
