Mumbai, July 31 - Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for the biggest film of his career, Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, in which he plays Lord Rama. While the actor has earned praise for his intense performance in Animal, many fans have wondered whether taking on another ultra-violent role after portraying one of the most revered figures in Hindu history would be appropriate. Now, veteran actor Nitish Bharadwaj has weighed in on the debate. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In a detailed post on Instagram, Bharadwaj, who played Lord Krishna in BR Chopra’s classic television show Mahabharat, hailed Ramayana as a landmark achievement for Indian cinema. He wrote that the film deserves "100% Oscar for Best Foreign Film" and congratulated director Nitesh Tiwari, calling him "Bharat's next gift to world cinema after Satyajit Rai and Shekhar Kapoor." He also praised the production design, cinematography, VFX, AI-assisted visuals, and celebrated Hans Zimmer's collaboration with Indian cinema. The veteran actor further described Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh as "the next two unbeatable Dhurandhars" while welcoming Yash to "global cinema." (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, it was his message to Ranbir Kapoor that drew the most attention. He said that while he has always admired Ranbir as an actor, portraying Lord Rama brings a greater responsibility. He wrote, "RK, always loved you as an actor but now starts your social responsibility to uphold Bharat's heritage, values, culture & ethos. So no more ANIMAL even if the goldmine is offered to you. Plz do not pollute your Vaani anymore. Bharat has enough stories to satiate your acting prowess." His remarks suggest that he believes Ranbir should move away from ultra-violent films like Animal and instead choose stories that reflect India's cultural and spiritual heritage. The veteran actor also expressed hope that audiences would wholeheartedly accept Sai Pallavi as Sita and wished to hear Tulsidas' chaupais, accompanied by traditional instruments like the mridangam and manjira, to preserve the spiritual identity of the epic.

Mumbai, July 30 - The highly anticipated trailer for Ramayana Part 1 has received a positive response from audiences, with fans praising its stunning visuals, grand scale, and impressive casting. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the epic has generated massive excitement ahead of its release, with many calling it one of the most visually ambitious films ever produced in Indian cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the biggest highlights of the trailer are the lead performances. Ranbir Kapoor has earned widespread appreciation for his calm and divine screen presence as Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi's graceful portrayal of Sita has also impressed viewers. Yash's menacing avatar as Ravana has created significant buzz and left audiences eager to see more of the antagonist in the film. However, one notable omission from the trailer has disappointed a section of fans –– Sunny Deol's Hanuman. Despite being one of the film's most anticipated characters, Hanuman does not make an appearance in the trailer. Many viewers took to social media to express that even a brief glimpse of Sunny Deol in the iconic role could have elevated the trailer to an even greater level. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) That said, the makers may have deliberately chosen to keep Hanuman's look under wraps. According to reports, Sunny Deol will have a limited role in Ramayana Part 1, reportedly appearing only during the film's climactic portions, while Ramayana Part 2 will feature the full-length role of one of the Chiranjeevis. By withholding his first look, makers may be preserving one of the franchise's biggest reveals for the theatrical experience and building anticipation for the sequel. Overall, the trailer has achieved exactly what it set out to do –– ignite excitement for Ramayana with its breathtaking visuals, faithful casting, and epic storytelling. While fans may have hoped for a glimpse of Sunny Deol's Hanuman, the decision to keep the character a surprise could ultimately make his on-screen debut even more impactful when the film arrives in cinemas. Part 1 is scheduled to release on Diwali this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})

Mumbai, July 29 - The cast of director Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 1 is not only gearing up for one of the biggest Indian films ever made but is also preparing for an incredibly busy theatrical window. Several of the film's lead actors have two major releases within roughly three months, either before or after Ramayana Part 1, ensuring they remain in the spotlight throughout the festive season and into early 2027. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Rama, will first headline Ramayana Part 1, slated for a grand Diwali 2026 release, before reuniting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Love & War, which is scheduled to hit theatres on January 21, 2027. The gap between the two releases is less than three months, giving the actor back-to-back event films in completely different genres. Yash, who essays Ravana in Ramayana, will kick off his theatrical run with the action thriller Toxic on August 26, 2026, which will be his first release in 4 years since the mega blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2. He will then return to the big screen during the Diwali season with Ramayana Part 1, making it two of the year's biggest pan-Indian releases within a short span. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sunny Deol is also set for a packed release schedule. The actor will first arrive with the period drama Batwara 1947 on August 14, 2026, before portraying Hanuman in Ramayana Part 1 during Diwali. He also has the emotional drama, Gabru, ready for release. Similarly, Sai Pallavi will be seen in Dhanush-fronted OM Chapter 1 on October 16, 2026, followed shortly by her portrayal of Sita in Ramayana Part 1. With blockbuster titles such as Toxic, Batwara 1947, OM, Ramayana Part 1, and Love & War arriving within a compact three-month window, the ensemble cast of Ramayana is poised to dominate the box office conversation. It is rare for so many stars from a single film to have multiple high-profile theatrical releases clustered so closely together, making the final months of 2026 and the beginning of 2027 particularly significant for Indian cinema.

The bidding war for the music rights of Namit Malhotra's Ramayana has taken a definitive turn just hours after the initial reports of a competition surfaced. In what is being described as a wild card entry, T-Series has reportedly secured the deal with a massive ₹75 crore offer. This development comes after Sony Music was leading the race earlier today with a ₹70 crore bid, while the production team was holding out for a target closer to ₹100 crore. According to reports from Lets Cinema, a formal handshake between the Ramayana team and T-Series took place today, with the official paperwork now underway to finalize the partnership. By offering ₹75 crore, T-Series has effectively locked the deal for the global music rights across all languages. This amount represents a new benchmark for the Indian music industry, comfortably surpassing the previous record of ₹54 crore held by Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The record-breaking valuation is largely driven by the high-profile nature of the film's score, which is a collaborative effort between Academy Award winners AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. The combination of these two musical giants is seen as a central pillar of the film’s global appeal, justifying the premium price tag. For T-Series, this acquisition ensures that the soundtrack of one of India’s biggest ever productions will be backed by the country’s largest music label. While the makers were initially seeking a three-figure sum, the ₹75 crore deal is a significant win in terms of pre-release revenue. It marks an increase of nearly 40 percent over the highest previously recorded music deal for a Hindi film. With major distribution partnerships already in place with Dharma Productions and Sony Pictures, locking the music rights at such a high figure further strengthens the financial recovery strategy for the film as it moves toward its Diwali 2026 release.

Mumbai, July 27 - The excitement surrounding director Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part 1 continues to grow as fresh details about the film's ending and its long-awaited trailer have surfaced. During the film's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the filmmaker confirmed that the first instalment will conclude on a major cliffhanger, setting the stage for the second chapter. While it may not be a shocking part for Indian audiences, it may definitely lead to massive excitement among international audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Comparing the narrative structure to epic two-part sagas, Tiwari explained that the story naturally demanded a split, allowing the first film to build towards an emotionally charged ending rather than rushing through the entire epic. The update comes just days after the film's trailer was unexpectedly postponed from its originally planned global launch. Producer Namit Malhotra had announced that the trailer would be delayed, citing unforeseen circumstances, despite it being scheduled to debut at Comic-Con before releasing online worldwide. The makers have confirmed that the trailer will now be dropped online on Thursday, July 30, at 4:15 AM, and will be attached to Spider-Man: Brand New Day print in cinemas from July 30, giving audiences their first full look at the ambitious epic on the big screen. As already made official, Ramayana will be distributed by Sony Pictures, the studio behind Brand New Day, internationally, while Dharma Production will release it in India. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The two-part format will allow the makers to explore the Ramayana with greater depth, while the cliffhanger ending is expected to leave audiences eagerly awaiting the conclusion. Ranbir Kapoor, who portrays Lord Ram, recently revealed that some of the film's biggest moments, including the face-off between Lord Ram and Yash's Ravana, have not yet been filmed, underscoring the massive scale and ongoing production of the duology. Yash, meanwhile, has described portraying Ravana as one of the most challenging roles of his career, promising a fresh interpretation of the iconic antagonist. Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, and Ravi Dubey in key roles. The first film is slated for a Diwali 2026 release, with Part 2 scheduled to arrive during Diwali 2027, making it one of the most ambitious Indian film franchises ever mounted.

Mumbai, July 24 - Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has taken another significant step towards becoming a global cinematic event. Sony Pictures Entertainment has officially come on board as the international distributor for the two-part epic. Interestingly, the agreement is said to be a Free of Cost (FOC) distribution deal, meaning Sony has not paid an upfront acquisition fee to the producers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Instead, the Hollywood studio will invest heavily in the film's worldwide marketing campaign, underlining its confidence in the project's global appeal. According to a report by Pinkvilla, Sony has committed USD 25 million (approximately 235 crore) towards the international marketing and publicity of Ramayana. The producers will contribute an additional USD 15 million (approximately 140 crore), bringing the film's total marketing expenditure to USD 40 million (approximately 375 crore). Such a promotional budget is virtually unheard of for an Indian film and reflects the makers' ambition of launching Ramayana on the scale of a major Hollywood blockbuster. The report further states that Ramayana: Part One is expected to be mounted on a budget of around 1,500 crore, including production and marketing costs. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, the combined budget for both instalments is estimated to be close to 3,000 crore, making it comfortably one of the most expensive film franchises ever produced in Indian cinema. With Sony handling the international rollout and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions releasing the film in India, the makers are aiming for an unprecedented global theatrical launch. On the release front, Ramayana: Part One is currently being lined up for Diwali 2026. While Diwali falls on November 8, the makers are understood to be considering October 30 and November 6 as the two potential release dates, as reported earlier. The earlier date is reportedly being preferred to secure an IMAX release, as Godzilla Minus Zero is expected to occupy IMAX screens from November 6 onwards. An official announcement regarding the final release date is expected in the coming weeks.

The cinematic adaptation of the timeless epic, Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has remained one of the most discussed projects in Indian cinema. With a massive budget and a stellar cast that brings together the best of various industries, the film is being crafted as a global spectacle. In a significant development, it has come to light that a 34-minute footage of the film has been officially certified by the Australian Classification Board. This news has sparked a lot of conversation among fans who are eagerly waiting for the first glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. According to the official certification details, the 34-minute footage has been granted an M (Moderate) rating. The primary reason cited by the Australian board for this classification is moderate violence. The application for this certification was submitted by Prathyangira Cinemas PTY LTD, indicating that the makers are already laying the groundwork for a massive international rollout. A 34-minute duration is quite substantial for a censor filing at this stage, leading to speculation that this could be a special extended preview, a prologue, or a detailed glimpse intended for international distributors and trade showcases. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) To understand the implications of this rating, we must look at how the Australian classification system works. The M classification stands for Mature, signifying content with a moderate impact (such as moderate violence), and functions as an advisory guidance category rather than a legally restrictive one.Unlike the MA 15+ rating, which legally restricts entry to those under 15 unless accompanied by a parent or adult guardian, the M rating is advisory. It suggests that the content is best suited for persons aged 15 and over, but it does not legally prevent children of any age from viewing the film. Essentially, anyone can see an M-rated film, but the board advises parents that the themes or sequences might not be suitable for younger children. The mention of moderate violence is particularly interesting given the nature of the source material. While the Ramayana is a spiritual and emotional journey, it also culminates in a grand scale conflict between the forces of good and evil. The M rating suggests that Nitesh Tiwari is not shying away from a realistic portrayal of the epic's battlefield sequences. By opting for a tone that includes moderate violence, the film appears to be targeting a more grounded and intense cinematic experience rather than a purely sanitized version often seen in older television adaptations. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The buzz surrounding the film is amplified by its extraordinary ensemble. Apart from Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, the film features Yash as the formidable Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi. The technical side is equally strong, with Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus and the Oscar-winning VFX house DNEG handling the visual effects. The goal is to create a visual masterpiece that matches the standards of global fantasy epics, and this early certification in Australia is a clear sign that the production is moving at a steady pace toward its massive theatrical release. As the project nears its next phases, this M-rated footage provides the first concrete hint regarding the film's artistic direction. It suggests a mature, high-stakes narrative that balances the divinity of the story with the gritty reality of an ancient war. For the global audience, this certification confirms that Ramayana is being prepared as a top-tier international production, ready to compete on the world stage with its scale, storytelling, and now, a certified mature tone.
