Namit Malhotra’s ambitious project, Ramayana, is gearing up to make waves in the Indian film industry. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, this mythological epic promises a storytelling experience like no other, set on a grand scale that has rarely been seen in Indian cinema.
Backed by Prime Focus Studios and supported by DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is planned as a two-part film that merges rich Indian narratives with advanced filmmaking techniques. What sets this project apart is its impressive assembly of over 10,000 crew members from around the globe, making it the largest ever for an Indian film. The extensive team consists of specialists in areas such as production design, visual effects, action choreography, and more, all working to bring this epic tale to life.
To elevate the film’s production quality, top international technicians and experts are on board. The creators aim for a groundbreaking cinematic experience that goes beyond the traditional film format, focusing on large set constructions, innovative visual effects, and a carefully crafted world that resonates with audiences today.
While India has produced many visually stunning films, Ramayana is being positioned as a project that could reshape how mythological stories are told for contemporary viewers. A significant aspect of this film includes collaboration with DNEG, an Oscar-winning VFX company known for its work on major global projects. This partnership is expected to enhance the visual storytelling, bringing ancient tales to life with state-of-the-art production.
The film is also set for a worldwide IMAX release, reinforcing its ambition to be a major theatrical event. As anticipation builds around casting and visual style, the production scale itself has sparked considerable excitement among film lovers and industry professionals.
Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios, along with DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is set to release in two parts, with Part 1 hitting theaters during Diwali 2026, followed by Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
