A couple of months back, it was reported that the film will reportedly be made with a budget of Rs 835 crore. With this, Ramayan will be the costliest Indian film of all time. In the film, Ranbir will be seen as Lord Ram whereas Sai will essay Mata Sita.
If media reports are to be believed, the film is being planned as a franchise and the first part of Ramayan is being made on a budget of nearly Rs 835 crore. The makers are leaving no stone unturned to make it larger-than-life and a "global spectacle", according to a report in Bollywood Hungama.
The first part of Ramayan will focus on Lord Ram's youth, marriage with Sita, exile and eventually, Sita's abduction. The makers are yet to officially announce the film, but if reports are to go by, an announcement is expected to drop anytime soon now.
Ranbir and Sai began shooting for their roles in April 2024. Several pictures of the lead stars were leaked on social media. Reports have also stated that KGF star Yash will play Ravan in the film and he will also co-produce it after Madhu Mantena backed out of the project.
