World premiere of Ramayana in Los Angeles
The world premiere of the film Ramayana took place in Los Angeles on 27 October 2026. A premiere event was hosted in the city ahead of the film's official release.
Cast and crew members attended the event in California. Those present included producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi.
Ranbir Kapoor on the responsibility of playing Lord Ram
Ranbir Kapoor said on Kaun Banega Crorepati that he was initially apprehensive about playing Lord Ram. He feared that he might not be qualified for the responsibility.
The actor said this fear turned into gratitude, especially because the role came when he became a father. This timing made the project more meaningful to him.
Kapoor described the opportunity as a "God's gift" that allows him to understand the epic deeply and work with wonderful people.
Production scale and budget of Ramayana
Nitesh Tiwari directs the film, while Namit Malhotra serves as its producer. It has been mounted on a budget of ₹4,000 crore.
Producer Namit Malhotra said the combined budget for both parts is approximately $500 million, which exceeds ₹4,000 crore.
Malhotra said the film is the largest in the world for the epic. He remarked that the production was more efficient than many major Hollywood movies, describing it as ambitious yet grounded.
Technical clarification on AI usage
Director Nitesh Tiwari said AI was used only to get the lip-sync right. This technique allows the film to be presented to audiences in their own language.
Tiwari explained that AI's role was limited to technical improvements for language dubbing. He said it was not used for actors' performances or voices.
He further noted that the artistes provided all voice dubbing, with no other AI applications involved.
Cast and release schedule for Ramayana
Ramayana is set to release in theaters on 5 November 2026.
The movie is set to debut in two segments, the first part reaching global audiences before Diwali 2026. The sequel is scheduled for launch during Diwali 2027.
In addition to Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, the cast includes Sunny Deol and Ravi Dubey in prominent roles.
