The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, was set to launch its first asset at the event today. He said, “We planned to launch Ramayana glimpse today at Waves 2025, but postponed it due to Pahalgam.”

 

Malhotra expressed immense satisfaction with the Nitesh Tiwari-directed film, which is soon set to begin filming its second part. The film is being developed using advanced VFX and real-time AI lip-sync technology. “Ramayana is a story meant for the world,” Malhotra stated while speaking to the press in Mumbai. He added, “We are leveraging cutting-edge technology to make it truly global, not just through dubbing or subtitles, but by achieving authentic lip-sync in multiple languages. Our aim is to make audiences across the globe feel as though it was made in their own language.”

 

Malhotra emphasized that the team aims to honor the spirit of the epic while using modern tools to connect with audiences worldwide. He added, “Ramayana deserves to be localized — to be told in every tongue, in every corner of the world.”

 

Last year, Malhotra, who has previously worked on several high-profile Hollywood projects such as Dune and Inception, revealed that the film would be released in two parts. The epic saga will feature Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. The first instalment is slated for release in 2026, with the second part set to release in 2027.

 

In a heartfelt message accompanying the film's first poster, Malhotra shared, “More than a decade ago, I embarked on a noble quest to bring this epic that has ruled billions of hearts for over 5000 years to the big screen. And today, I am thrilled to see it taking shape beautifully as our teams work tirelessly with only one purpose: to present the most authentic, sacred, and visually stunning adaptation of our history, our truth, and our culture - our RAMAYANA--for people across the world.”

 

Nitesh Tiwari, known for his acclaimed work on Dangal and Chhichhore, is directing the epic saga.
