What We Know So Far
Ramayana: Part I is scheduled to hit the screens next year in Diwali. The first official glimpse will be unveiled on July 3, 2025.
The official invite read, "Landmark cinematic event that sets the stage for one of the biggest films ever made."
Ranbir Kapoor plays the role of Lord Ram in the film, followed by Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.
Earlier this year, speaking at the World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit, producer Namit Malhotra said, "The way we want to go about it is to make it feel local to people in the world. Again, with the use of some technology, we are trying to make sure that we will be able to localise the film in languages with performance, which means that it should play in English with lip sync without subtitles or dubbed versions, because it should be in English. It should be in Spanish; it should be in Japanese in Japan."
Furthermore, he had revealed that, with the help of technology, turning big ideas into reality is possible. He shared that their main goal is to tell compelling stories while staying true to the characters and keeping things as real as possible. At the same time, he stressed the importance of making movies in a way that global audiences do not feel uncomfortable or disconnected.
In A Nutshell
Ranbir Kapoor was seen leaving for a vacation with his family, Alia Bhatt, Neetu Kapoor and daughter Raha last night after wrapping up his schedule for Ramayana: Part 1. The actor will miss the grand reveal of the film's first look, taking place on July 3, 2025, in Mumbai.

Producer of Akshay Kumar's Rs 300 crore box office flop has built and sold 45 buildings in Mumbai, owns a two-acre studio in London
Actor Akshay Kumar has had a difficult run at the box office in the last few years, with around a dozen flops to his name. His latest film, Housefull 5, did decently well but the film had a massive star cast to share the credit of the success. Before that, Kesari Chapter 2, did moderately well, as did the action movie Sky Force. But neither of them was a hit. Several of his biggest recent flops, films such as Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (BMCM), Mission Raniganj, and Bell Bottom, were all produced by Pooja Entertainment, the banner operated by Vashu Bhagnani and his son Jackky. The duo were under fire last year when many people who worked on BMCM alleged that they hadn't been paid for their services after the film flopped. Produced on a reported budget of Rs 300 crore, the movie made just around Rs 100 crore globally. The same was the case with Ganapath, starring Tiger Shroff, which made less than Rs 20 crore. In fact, the banner hasn't released a proper hit film in two decades. But the Bhagnanis don't rely completely on the movie business to earn a living. They also have a flourishing real estate and construction arm, and Vashu Bhagnani spoke about it in a recent interview. Chatting with Ronak Kotecha on YouTube, he said, 'I went to London in 2018, and I wondered what to do. So, I bought a building in Mayfair. Then, I made five or six movies there… I'm a developer. I don't believe in making money by investing your own money in projects. I make buildings like I make films… I'm the only person from Bollywood who has set up a studio in London. We have two floors with 60-foot high ceilings. It's a two-acre property, I have a VFX set-up there, I have vanity vans there.' Also read – Vashu Bhagnani says people claimed he was bankrupt, had run away after Bade Miyan Chote Miyan; answers if he's paid everyone: 'Even if I haven't, what's your problem?' He continued, 'I can't even speak English properly. When I was going to London, my daughter told me, 'What will you do there? You can't even speak English properly, and you won't understand what they're saying'. I said, 'Let me try'. As soon as I landed, I set up a studio there. I made two buildings, and I made six films in five years. I used to make one building and one film, one building and one film. I've made 45 buildings in Mumbai so far, and they've all been sold. But I never sold the IP of my films. I still own my movies…' In the same interview, he spoke about the difficulties he experienced after the BMCM controversy. 'I was very upset by those stories. Imagine that I was actually bankrupt and I'd sold off my building. If I had actually sold it off, it would've been to pay people back, right? What's wrong in that? I'm not a corporate employee, I'm doing business. If I suffer a loss, I will have to make up for it. But people spun this into a negative story. They said I've run away, that I don't have money for food, that I couldn't even afford flight tickets,' he said.
