Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana becomes the costliest Indian film; redefines Bollywood with a staggering $100 Million [Rs. 835 crores] budget

Over the last year and a half, Ramayana has been the most spoken-about projects of Indian Cinema. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial has seen its journey of ups and down but is now finally set to be the costliest and most ambitious film of Indian Cinema. Sources close to the project have confirmed that the makers have allotted an earth-shattering budget of USD 100 Million for Ramayana: Part One. “Ramayana is not just a film but an emotion and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to make it a global spectacle,” revealed a source on anonymity to Bollywood Hungama.

The source further informed that Namit Malhotra is putting all his global experience into the system to make a true blue spectacle. “The USD 100 Million [Rs. 835 crores] budget is just for Ramayana: Part One. He plans to expand this further as the franchise grows. The idea is to take the audience on a visual treat with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram,” the source told us further.

Ranbir Kapoor’s 2022 release, Brahmastra, was made on a budget of Rs. 450 crores, and back in the day was the costliest Hindi Film. With Ramayana, he is now set to surpass not just his own record but set new benchmarks for Hindi Films. “In INR terms, the budget of Ramayana is close to Rs 835 crores. 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 on the spectacle. The idea is to take Indian Cinema at a global level,” the source shared further.

Ramayana also features KGF star Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita.
