The entire cast is yet to be confirmed by the makers but this looks ambitious indeed.
A source said, 'These are inflated figures being planted to generate curiosity. In truth, such astronomical budgetary numbers are impossible. From what I know the project's producers are currently looking at a budget of Rs 500-550 crores. Anything beyond that would be fatal for the project,' said the anonymous source.
It added, 'Anything beyond that would be fatal for the project. They want to make the most lavish version of Ramayana . But they also want to make sure they don't assign a budget that would be impossible to recover.'
