Ramayana Part 2: 60% Shot, Release Pushed to 2028
12 Nov
Summary
- Ramayana Part 2 filming is 60% complete, with extensive VFX pending.
- The sequel's release has been postponed to 2028 for enhanced post-production.
- Visuals are designed to be fantastical, not strictly realistic, for epic scale.
Cinematographer Pankaj Kumar has revealed that 60 percent of "Ramayana Part 2" has been filmed. The sequel, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, is being developed on a significantly larger scale than its predecessor. Extensive visual effects and motion-capture work are still required to bring characters like Lord Hanuman and the vanar sena to life.
The film's release has been rescheduled from 2027 to 2028. This delay is intended to allow the production team ample time to complete the demanding technical and post-production processes. Producer Namit Malhotra emphasized that the additional year is crucial for doing justice to the film's massive scope.
Kumar also discussed the deliberate choice to create a fantastical visual aesthetic for the film's environments, rather than a strictly realistic depiction. This approach aims to enhance the larger-than-life experience of the epic, accommodating giant monsters and characters swinging between trees, thus fitting the fantasy narrative.
"Ramayana: Part One" featured Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita. The sequel is expected to delve into the events leading up to the battle between Rama and Ravana, with Meghnad, Ravana's son, set to play a crucial role.
