A source told Bollywood Hungama that this shall be the costliest Indian film ever made with a budget of Rs 835 crore. A source was quoted saying, 'The film requires 600 days of post-production work, which in itself speaks volumes about the investment required to create some of the most original visuals.'
And now, as per a report by The Siasat Daily, this is the star-studded ensemble of the magnum opus. The full names have not been confirmed yet.
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.'
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios and 8-time Oscar winning VFX studio DNEG in association with Yash's Monster Mind Creations; Ramayana is being filmed for IMAX and will release worldwide : Part 1 in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
Set in a timeless age, the universe is held in balance by the cosmic trinity — Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Protector, and Shiva the Destroyer — who preserve harmony among gods, sages, humans, and demons. But from the ashes of this balance rises a force unlike any before.

An unlikely demon child transforms into Ravana — the most feared and indestructible king in all creation. His roar shakes the heavens, and his purpose is clear: to destroy Vishnu, the god of protection, whom he believes has always stood against his kind.
To stop him, Vishnu descends to Earth in his weakest form — as a mortal prince named Rama.

Recently, a woman on X claimed that Vijay Sethupathi had exploited a young woman for 'caravan favours.' The post was later deleted by the woman. Now, the actor has reacted to the allegations and called them 'baseless'. 'Anyone who knows me even remotely will laugh at this. I know myself too. This kind of filthy accusation can't upset me. My family and close friends are upset, but I tell them, 'Let it slide. This woman is obviously doing it to be noticed. She has her few minutes of fame, let her enjoy it,'' the Jawan actor told while talking to Deccan Chronicle. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The actor has filed a cybercrime complaint against the user and said these kinds of smear campaigns don't affect him. 'I've faced all kinds of whispering campaigns for seven years. Such targeting has not affected me so far. It never will,' Sethupathi shared. He further linked the timing of the post with the success of his latest film, Thalaivan Thalaivii and shared, 'My new film is doing well. Probably, some jealous elements think that by tarnishing me, they can damage my film. It doesn't work that way. In today's day and age, anyone can say anything about anybody. There are no filters. All you need is an account on social media, and you can write what you like without fear of repercussion.'

'It's insane how some insensitive morons are more focused on questioning the source or blaming the victim than actually acknowledging the truth.
