Ramayana Has A Budget Of Rs 4000 Crore? With a massive all-star lineup featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Amitabh Bachchan, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, and more, Nitesh Tiwari directorial has officially claimed the title of the most expensive Indian film ever, with a combined budget of around Rs 4,000 crore (about $500 million). Recently, the producer of the movie, Namit Malhotra, opened up about funding the project when he told Prakhar Gupta on his podcast, 'We're funding it ourselves. We're not taking anybody's money." He admitted that when the idea took shape six or seven years ago, shortly after the pandemic, many thought it was pure madness. 'To put it simply, it'll be about $500 million by the time we're done on both films put together, part one and part two, which is over Rs 4,000 crore." Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios along with the 8-time Oscar-winning VFX studio DNEG, in association with Yash's Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is being filmed for IMAX and will be released worldwide in two parts: Part 1 in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
