Mumbai, July 27 - The excitement surrounding director Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part 1 continues to grow as fresh details about the film's ending and its long-awaited trailer have surfaced. During the film's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the filmmaker confirmed that the first instalment will conclude on a major cliffhanger, setting the stage for the second chapter. While it may not be a shocking part for Indian audiences, it may definitely lead to massive excitement among international audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Comparing the narrative structure to epic two-part sagas, Tiwari explained that the story naturally demanded a split, allowing the first film to build towards an emotionally charged ending rather than rushing through the entire epic. The update comes just days after the film's trailer was unexpectedly postponed from its originally planned global launch. Producer Namit Malhotra had announced that the trailer would be delayed, citing unforeseen circumstances, despite it being scheduled to debut at Comic-Con before releasing online worldwide. According to the latest reports, the trailer is now expected to be dropped online on July 29 and will be attached to Spider-Man: Brand New Day print in cinemas from July 30, giving audiences their first full look at the ambitious mythological epic on the big screen. As already made official, Ramayana will be distributed by Sony Pictures, the studio behind Brand New Day, internationally. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The two-part format will allow the makers to explore the Ramayana with greater depth, while the cliffhanger ending is expected to leave audiences eagerly awaiting the conclusion. Ranbir Kapoor, who portrays Lord Ram, recently revealed that some of the film's biggest moments, including the face-off between Lord Ram and Yash's Ravana, have not yet been filmed, underscoring the massive scale and ongoing production of the duology. Yash, meanwhile, has described portraying Ravana as one of the most challenging roles of his career, promising a fresh interpretation of the iconic antagonist. Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, and Ravi Dubey in key roles. The first film is slated for a Diwali 2026 release, with Part 2 scheduled to arrive during Diwali 2027, making it one of the most ambitious Indian film franchises ever mounted.

With only a few days remaining before the Ramayana trailer release, new details have emerged regarding its official launch at the San Diego Comic-Con. On July 15, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared a 4-minute-15-second-long trailer for the film with a U certificate. This sets the stage for a major international presentation, where director Nitesh Tiwari and the core team are expected to unveil the first look of the epic to a global audience. One of the most significant updates involves the official trailer, which was cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification on July 15 with a U certificate. The makers have reportedly prepared two distinct versions for the launch. One cut, titled Trailer - Ramayana 3D, features a runtime of 4 minutes and 15 seconds, while a second version, intended for theatrical use, runs for exactly 4 minutes. This unusually long duration indicates that the team is ready to offer an extensive and detailed look into the mythological world they have built over the last few years. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The trailer launch is not just a digital release but a grand physical event in San Diego. The panel will be held in Ballroom 20, which is the second-largest venue at the convention center, capable of accommodating nearly 4,800 attendees. It is a prestigious slot, occurring between 3:15 pm and 4:15 pm PDT on July 23, which translates to 3:45 am to 4:45 am IST for viewers in India on Friday, July 24. The official Comic-Con website has listed producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari alongside lead actors Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, referring to them as international superstars. The panel description promises much more than a simple screening. Attendees can expect never-before-seen footage, exclusive reveals, live performances, and special giveaways. This move puts Ramayana in the same league as global franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, whose president Kevin Feige is scheduled for a major presentation in the larger Hall H on the following day to reveal the future of the MCU and likely the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. By securing a spot in Ballroom 20, the makers are positioning the film as a global cinematic spectacle, backed by the visual effects expertise of DNEG and Prime Focus Studios. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the international buzz, the team has also launched a massive ground-level campaign in India titled Hamara Satya, Hamara Itihaas. This school outreach initiative, which began on July 9, aims to connect with over five lakh students across 400 schools in 18 different cities. Through quizzes, drawing competitions, and interactive sessions, the campaign focuses on the core values of the epic, engaging the next generation before the film’s theatrical release. It is a dual strategy that balances local cultural roots with global promotional ambitions. The scale of the production is further highlighted by its cast and crew. While Ranbir Kapoor leads as Rama and Yash takes on the role of Ravana, the film also features Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. Veterans like Arun Govil and Lara Dutta are also part of the ensemble as Dashrath and Kaikeyi. The musical score is a collaboration between Academy Award winners Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, adding another layer of international appeal. With the first part scheduled for a Diwali 2026 release and the second in Diwali 2027, the San Diego Comic-Con showcase marks the beginning of what the creators call the largest cinematic undertaking in Indian film history.

But what does it take to bring this mythological saga to life? A staggering ₹1600 crore budget, making Ramayana the most expensive Indian film franchise ever. Here’s an in-depth look at the budget, production, and why this film is poised to dominate the box office. ## The Teaser That Took the Internet by Storm The 3-minute intro teaser of Ramayana has left audiences speechless, showcasing: World-Class VFX: Crafted by DNEG, an 8-time Oscar-winning studio, the visuals rival Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar. Electrifying Score: A collaboration between legendary composers Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman, blending Indian and global musical sensibilities. Star Power: Glimpses of Ranbir Kapoor’s serene Lord Rama and Yash’s menacing Ravana, setting the stage for an epic face-off. Fans on X can’t stop raving about the teaser’s grandeur, with posts like “#RamayanaTeaser is a game-changer for Indian cinema!” trending worldwide. Check out the buzz on X and join the conversation! ## Breaking Down the ₹1600 Crore Budget According to Bollywood Hungama, sources close to producer Namit Malhotra confirm that Ramayana’s two parts are being crafted with a combined budget of ₹1600 crore, excluding print and publicity costs. Here’s the breakdown: Part 1 (Diwali 2026): ₹900 crore, covering elaborate sets, character designs, and digital assets for Ayodhya, Lanka, and beyond. Part 2 (Diwali 2027): ₹700 crore, leveraging existing sets and assets from Part 1 to optimize costs. Why the cost difference? Most of the intricate sets, costumes, and VFX assets for Ramayana Part 1 will be reused in Part 2, significantly reducing production expenses. Namit Malhotra, CEO of Prime Focus Studios, views the ₹1600 crore as a unified investment in the Ramayana franchise, not split by parts.## Comparison with Other Indian Blockbusters To put this in perspective: Adipurush (2023): ₹500 crore budget, criticized for VFX quality. Baahubali 2 (2017): ₹250 crore, a benchmark for Indian epics. RRR (2022): ₹550 crore, a global hit. Ramayana’s budget dwarfs these films, reflecting its ambition to redefine Indian cinema on a global stage. ## The Vision Behind the Budget Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is a passion project. Malhotra, whose DNEG studio has worked on films like Dune and Interstellar, is leveraging cutting-edge technology to create a mythical world that feels authentic yet larger-than-life. The budget covers: VFX and CGI: DNEG’s expertise ensures hyper-realistic depictions of Ayodhya, Lanka, and Hanuman’s aerial feats. Global Talent: Hans Zimmer’s involvement elevates the film’s appeal to international audiences. Massive Sets: Replicas of ancient Indian architecture, built across multiple studios. Star-Studded Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi (Sita), Ravi Dubey (Lakshman), and Sunny Deol (Hanuman) command significant fees. ## Will Ramayana Break Box Office Records? The makers are confident that Ramayana will not only recover its colossal budget but also deliver massive profits. Here’s why: Global Appeal: With Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, the film targets Bollywood and South Indian audiences, while Zimmer’s score and DNEG’s VFX attract international viewers. Festive Release: Diwali 2026 and 2027 releases ensure high footfall in India and the diaspora. Advance Booking Potential: Sacnilk’s data on films like Sikandar (3.38 lakh tickets sold) suggests Ramayana could shatter pre-sale records. Industry insiders predict Ramayana could gross over ₹2000 crore worldwide, surpassing Baahubali 2’s ₹1788 crore record. Stay tuned to Sacnilk for real-time box office updates when the film releases! ## Meet the Stellar Cast of Ramayana The film’s ensemble cast is a major draw: Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama: Known for Brahmastra, Ranbir brings depth to the virtuous hero.
