As per reports, Kapoor is getting paid Rs 150 crore for both the parts (Rs 75 crore for each), and Sai Pallavi is reportedly taking home Rs 12 crore.
The budget of Ramayana
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.'

‘Nagarjuna slapped me 15 times, I had marks on my face': Isha Koppikar recalls the star apologised to her afterwards
Film actors are required to act in front of the camera but sometimes, they believe that they have to go through the emotions that their character is going through to correctly portray the character's state of mind. Actor Isha Koppikar did something similar when she was working with Nagarjuna in their 1998 film Chandralekha. In a recent interview, Isha recalled that she asked Nagarjuna to slap her in a scene and to get it right, he slapped her 14 times. By the time they were done, Isha had slap marks on her face, and Nagarjuna apologised profusely. In a chat with Hindi Rush, Isha shared, 'I got slapped by Nagarjuna. I was a fully committed actor that I want to perform in a real, method way. So when he was slapping me, I couldn't feel it. This was my second film, so I told him 'Nag, you really slap me.' He said, 'Are you sure? No, I can't.' I said, 'I want that feeling. I am not feeling it right now.' So he slapped me, but softly.' Isha Koppikar said that at that time, she couldn't really express her anger in front of the camera and here, the camera couldn't catch her expression, so they kept asking her to do take after take. 'In an attempt to look angry, I got slapped 14 times,' she recalled.

'I literally had marks on my face. Bechara mujhe leke baitha, bola sorry (Poor guy, he apologised to me). I said, 'I asked for it, why are you saying sorry?'' Isha Koppikar is known for her roles in film like Krishna Coittahe, Pinjar, Kya Cool Hain Hum and Don. She was last seen in the Tamil film Ayalaan in 2024.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Plot Revealed: Mihir-Tulsi's Happy Marriage Faces New Storm
Amar Upadhyay shares how Mihir and Tulsi will tackle the younger generation in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, premiering tonight. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 premieres tonight (July 29) at 10:30 pm, and anticipation is sky-high as Smriti Irani returns as Tulsi Virani. Alongside her, Amar Upadhyay will reprise his iconic role of Mihir Virani. As fans gear up for the reboot of one of Indian television's most iconic soaps, Amar has now revealed intriguing details about the plot. In a recent interview with Indian Express, Amar shared that while Mihir's character has evolved, his bond with Tulsi remains intact. 'Mihir is a bit changed in the way he moves around. He is a big businessman now. In season 1, he had done his MBA and returned to India to join his father's business. Now he is a very big businessman, busy exploring new business ideas," he explained. The actor also hinted at a conflict with the younger generation in the family. 'Smriti and my relation is just the way it was. The new kids come in, and with them, we have some differences, which is a different track altogether," Amar added. The new generation of the Virani family includes characters played by Rohit Suchanti, Aman Gandhi, and Shagun Sharma. According to Amar, Mihir's success as a businessman brings an added dimension to the show's storyline. While the bond between Tulsi and Mihir remains strong, the reboot will focus on the clash of values and perspectives between the older and younger generations—a theme likely to resonate with today's audience. Amar Upadhyay also revealed that Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 will be a finite series, expected to run for 10 to 12 months. This marks a shift from the original version, which ran for over eight years and became a cultural phenomenon. The reboot also stars Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Shakti Anand, and several new faces, promising a blend of nostalgia and fresh drama. With Ekta Kapoor at the helm once again, the makers aim to recreate the same magic with a modern twist. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
