Origins

[edit]

In May 2017, producers Allu Aravind, Namit Malhotra, and Madhu Mantena announced their collaboration together to adapt the Hindu Sanskrit epic Ramayana into a live-action feature film trilogy, and they revealed that the development of the script had already been underway for nearly a year. It was envisioned as a multilingual production in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali in addition to Marathi, Punjabi, Odia, Sinhala with English languages, and was planned to be shot in 3D.[31] Allu Aravind stated that his ambition was to bring Ramayana to the big screen in the "most magnificent way possible", while acknowledging that adapting the epic into a trilogy was an immense responsibility. Namit Malhotra, whose company Prime Focus had contributed visual effects to high-profile Hollywood films like Star Wars, Transformers, X-Men: Apocalypse and The Martian until then, saw in the trilogy the potential to set new global benchmarks for Indian cinema. In February 2018, Mantena revealed that his inspiration to make the film series came from the life and work of the famous Indian comic book writer Anant Pai, who had created the Amar Chitra Katha comics. He added that the film series was their collective effort in retelling Indian culture to newer generations in all possible "audio visual glory", with the help of the latest technology and visual effects. [32][33] As the last widely recognized adaptations of the epic had been in the form of television series from previous decades—most notably Ramayan (1987–88) by Ramanand Sagar—the producers, on this occasion, wished to bring Ramayana as a cinematic spectacle for the big screen.[34][35]

Development

[edit]
Ramayana is the first collaboration of Nitesh Tiwari with Namit Malhotra.

In July 2019, Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari and Mom director Ravi Udyawar came on board to co-direct the trilogy, while Shridhar Raghavan was hired to write the screenplay.[36] Tiwari cited the significant advancements in visual effects since the 1987-88 Ramayan television series as a key motivation for taking on the project, noting that, "our oldest, or the earliest memories (of the epic), are still 30 years old. We really haven't seen Ramayana in the form it deserves to be told in". Beyond the technological possibilities, what compelled him further to join the team was the story itself, which according to him held "fantastic belief" in Indian culture, and the fact that his producers were willing to go all the way for him to execute it in a "very interesting way". Additionally, he felt a sense of responsibility towards his children, who according to him were familiar with the broad outline of the Ramayana but had not engaged with it in its depth. Udyawar, too, stated that his decision to join the project was driven by that same sense of responsibility towards his children. He recalled that when he shared with his son what he and his team were doing, his son "jumped around all day" wondering what Raavan and Kumbhakarna would look like, adding that the biggest thrill for him was when his son told him that "Hanuman is cooler than Superman".

Although Tiwari had joined a little later than Udyawar, when he saw the world for Ramayana that Udyawar had been creating, he felt that world "kind of knew" him. [37] He said that he found the epic's allure in its tableau of characters, in particular in the figure of Rama, "an ideal leader, husband, father and son", while Udyawar felt that the epic's magic lay in its shape-shifting monsters, which in his view was something even a toddler would enjoy. Affirming that whatever would be said and shown in the films had the stamp of authenticity, Tiwari stated that, beyond Rama and Ravana, every character—be it Sita, Lakshmana, or Hanuman—had something meaningful to convey, making it essential to adapt the Ramayana into a trilogy. He remarked that their producers had encouraged them to be "fearless and fly" visually, assuring them that neither money nor time would be allowed to pose any obstacles to their creative vision. Udyawar said that numerous technicians at Prime Focus, who had previously worked on major Hollywood productions, were eager to bring their expertise to the film’s expansive epical world, and highlighted the project's significance by drawing a parallel with the fact that while many science fiction films exist, only one has attained the stature of Star Wars.

To serve as references for the setting, costume, cast and action for the films, the production team commissioned intricate paintings from artists across India. The project aimed to feature actors from Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, and Punjabi cinema as part of a broader strategy to appeal to both a pan-Indian and global audience.[38] The film series was initially supposed to be made on an estimated budget of 500 crores. The production team had planned to commence filming by 2020, with the first installment targeted for release in 2021. The filmmakers intended to maintain a relatively short gap between each part of the trilogy to preserve the continuity of the narrative.[39][40]

Pre-production

[edit]

Writing and Visual Development

[edit]

In November 2019, Tiwari said that Raghavan had been writing the script for the past three years under the guidance of numerous scholars and pandits who had extensive knowledge of the scripture in a responsible manner to make the epic relevant to contemporary audiences.[41] Their involvement was to ensure that whatever was being written was culturally accurate and widely accepted. In April 2020, he stated that they were carefully identifying sensitive aspects of the story that should remain untouched, so that they do not cause hurt to possible public sensibilities involved with them, while determining areas where they could take limited cinematic liberties to enhance the film's overall viewing experience.[42] Tiwari explained that he and his team wanted to present the story in a manner so that the younger audiences such as his children, who were "fans of Avengers", would find it exciting, while simultaneously retaining the faith of the older audiences like his mother-in-law, so that she should find it engaging enough "at a level where she would be like I have not seen Ramayana in this form".[43] He described the film as technologically prep-heavy, as the magical qualities of the epic, like the talking animals or the enchanted forests mentioned in it, gave them an opportunity to beautifully present a world on screen that, in his view, had not been seen before. He acknowledged that this process was tough, yet it was gratifying, since they had the right technology to do it. Tiwari said that his goal was to make Ramayana entertaining without being preachy, cautiously remarking that when he said entertain, he didn't mean to "make people chuckle or laugh because that kind of stuff is not there in Ramayana. But the execution is also entertaining. The ultimate aim is to keep them glued to their seats".[44] As the COVID-19 pandemic led to a nationwide lockdown in India, Tiwari continued working on the film series' script over virtual group calls with team members across the country.[45]

In June 2021, Mantena shared that he and his team were approaching Ramayana not as a project but as "a purpose, a purpose to tell Ramayana in all it's glory to the world". He emphasized that it was his wish to make making the trilogy "as well as anything else in the world", and shared that his team had been paying attention to the "minute details of everything". He revealed that they were following the same process that James Cameron used for Avatar, and that over 200 artists from across the globe had been working on the film for two years, including a few Academy Award winners.[46] In July, Mantena elaborated on his vision for the trilogy, describing it as a linear retelling of Ramayana from Valmiki’s standpoint, including the sub-stories in the epic, while promising an "intense and beautiful world" filled with fantastical beings like Rakshasas, Asuras, Garuda, etc. He revealed that he and his team were creating digital assets, describing it as a "painstaking" task, and something which demanded a lot of patience. In September 2021, Mantena said they were considering the works of artists like Raja Ravi Varma, who, according to him, had interpreted the epic in "their own beautiful ways". He stated that they were following Valmiki’s Ramayana and its descriptions to ensure an accurate presentation, unlike creating derivatives of the scripture, which in his view wouldn't work out. He furthermore clarified they were not trying to reinterpret the epic, adding, "Nitesh's family would narrate Ramayana for generations... We are telling a traditional Ramayana (story). So the point of being careful (from critical public perception) comes when you want to question".[47]

Casting

[edit]
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash as Ram, Sita and Ravan

In July 2021, Madhu said that he was going to announce the ensemble cast by Diwali that year, promising "the biggest cast ever in the history of Indian cinema",[48] boasting of actors who would be the best in class in terms of performances. Hailing the characters of Ravana, Ram, Sita, Laxman as larger than life, he asserted that he would be casting artists from across the country. Explaining the reason for this decision, he elaborated that "it (Ramayana) is not about North and South, it's about unifying the country. We are doing this as India".[49]

Filming

[edit]

The film's principal photography commenced in April 2024.[50] On April 5, pictures from the sets of the movie got leaked, featuring pictures of Arun Govil, Lara Dutta and Sheeba Chaddha in their respective roles and a picture of Nitesh Tiwari directing the film.[51][52] Following this, the makers imposed a strict no-phone policy on the movie sets.[53] On April 27, pictures from the sets of the movie got leaked again, this time featuring pictures of Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi in their respective roles, leading social media to speculate whether the pictures were being leaked by the makers themselves to generate hype and draw public opinion on how the costumes looked on the cast.[54][55] In May, the working title of the film was revealed to be "God Power".[56][57] In August, a social media video featuring acclaimed American movement coach Terry Notary went viral, in which he was seen confirming that he was working on the film series as the action director.[58][59] Filming was announced as wrapped in november 2024.[60] Filming for Part 2 began on 19 January 2025.[61]

Post-production

[edit]

The film will reportedly be in post-production for 600 days, making it one of the few global films to have ever required such extensive post-production timeframe.[62]

Music

[edit]

The film's soundtrack is being composed by A. R. Rahman alongside Hans Zimmer. The film marks Zimmer's debut as an original score composer in Indian cinema.[63]

Marketing

[edit]

On 6 November 2024, Malhotra officially announced Ramayana: Part 1 and Part 2 through a poster, along with the release dates for both the films.[64][65] Malhotra has repeatedly marketed the film as a global film, presenting an Indian subject but for the world.[66][67] He has, on numerous occasions, articulated his vision for the film, expressing his ambition for it to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with the world's biggest productions, such as the Dunes, or the Avatars.[68] He has also asserted that he would make no excuses about budgets or limitations in technical expertise—factors that have historically hindered large-scale Indian productions from soaring visually—while confidently promising some "never-before-seen" visuals.[69]

Release

[edit]

The film is slated for a theatrical release on Diwali in 2026, with the second part planned for release on Diwali in 2027.[70]
