Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi's Rs 4000 crore Ramayana may sink at box office if these 3 things are NOT paid attention, the first is...
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi's Rs 4000 crore Ramayana may sink at box office if these 3 things are NOT paid attention, the first is... Nitesh Tiwari's highly-anticipated epic tale- Ramayana is touted as the biggest Indian film ever made. Reason? Its staggering budget, exceptional VFX and terrific star-studded cast. Film's producer Namit Malhotra recently talked about the ambitious film and its budget. He revealed that all the production and marketing for both the installments of the film (Ramayana Part 1 and Ramayana Part 2) are done, and the costing is nothing less than staggering $500-million (Rs 4000 crore). Yes its unbelievable but true! The figure is higher than many Hollywood and Bollywood classics, naturally raising more than a few eyebrows. Interacting on The Prakhar Gupta Xperience podcast, Namit said, 'When we set out to make it, 6-7 years ago, when we really got serious about mounting it, everybody called me a lunatic, because no Indian film comes close to it budgetwise. To put it simply, it will be about $500 million by the time we are done with both the films – Part 1 and Part 2, which is over Rs 4000 crore.' He added, 'We are making the largest film in the world for the greatest story the world should see. I still think it is cheaper than some of the big Hollywood films. I think we are making a bigger film at a lower cost. That Indian in me still believes we are not being irresponsible with money.' Since the $500-million budget would mean that each of the two Ramayana films are assumed to earn $1 billion at the box office. These numbers have been scored by only global hits like Avatar, Avengers, Fast franchise etc at the box office. There is no Indian film that has ever grossed over Rs 2000 crore. In 2017, Nitesh Tiwari's Dangal grossed Rs 2000 crore, but over Rs 1300 crore came Internationally, specifically from China. The other highest-grossing Indian films like Pushpa 2: The Rise and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion , grossed over Rs 1700 crore worldwide. Moreover the makers will be using strong VFX for the larger-than-life theatrical experience. If the poor execution of visual effects or storytelling occur, it can affect the viewing experience and the film might appear cheap. Ramayana film must be handled with cultural sensitivity. If the fail doesn't resonate with the audience or capture the attention of the modern viewers, it can lead to negative views or box office disappointment. Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Supporting the powerful cast is an extraordinary crew. For the first time, Music maestro AR Rahman will collaborate with the legendary Hans Zimmer, to craft a new cinematic symphony. Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari and bankrolled by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana Part 1 is scheduled for a release on Diwali 2026, and the second part on Diwali 2027.

With Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' officially confirmed and slated for a Diwali 2026 release, followed by Part Two in Diwali 2027, attention has now turned to the film's all-star cast — and their reportedly massive fees.

Ranbir Kapoor, confirmed to play Lord Rama, is reportedly the highest-paid actor in the film. According to Kapoor is said to be earning ₹ 75 crore per instalment, bringing his total to a reported ₹ 150 crore for the two-part saga. Sai Pallavi, who has been officially cast as Maa Sita opposite Kapoor, is reportedly charging ₹ 6 crore per part. This would bring her total remuneration to ₹ 12 crore, as per the same reports. Kannada superstar Yash is confirmed to portray Raavan and is also producing the film under his own banner, Monster Mind Creations. He is reportedly earning ₹ 50 crore per instalment, making a total of ₹ 100 crore in acting fees, according to industry sources. Veteran actor Sunny Deol is officially playing Lord Hanuman in the mythological saga. As per a report by Republic, Deol is said to be receiving ₹ 20 crore per instalment, totalling ₹ 40 crore.

It remains unclear whether this figure covers just one instalment or both. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, 'Ramayana' is rooted in ancient Indian mythology and set nearly 5,000 years ago. The two-part epic is being mounted on a grand scale with confirmed release dates during successive Diwalis. While the cast and roles have been officially announced, the exact payment details remain speculative — but if the reports prove true, Ramayana could stand among the most expensive and high-profile film projects in Indian cinema.
