Yash hints 'Ramayana' film set for October release
16 Apr
Summary
- Ramayana film targeting late October 2026 release.
- Release aims to avoid clashes with Godzilla and The Cat in the Hat.
- Film boasts over $500 million budget with Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi.
Actor Yash has hinted that the epic film 'Ramayana: Part 1' is being targeted for a late October 2026 release. This potential shift from a Diwali launch allows the film to debut potentially a week earlier than the festival, which falls between November 5-11, 2026.
The strategic late-October release is intended to circumvent box office clashes with other anticipated films. Notably, 'Godzilla Minus Zero' and the children's film 'The Cat in the Hat' are both scheduled for release on November 6, 2026. Both 'Ramayana' and 'Godzilla' are eyeing IMAX releases, suggesting that avoiding a direct confrontation could benefit both productions.
Director Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious project, backed by producer Namit Malhotra, is set to be one of India's most expensive films, with a reported budget exceeding $500 million (Rs 4,000 crore). The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Yash also addressed concerns regarding the visual effects, assuring that the final product will meet high standards, describing the photorealistic scenes as a work in progress that aims for a top-notch output.
