Ramayana was announced as a large-scale, two-part screen adaptation of the ancient Indian epic. It was produced by Namit Malhotra, founder of the visual-effects company DNEG, and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, who made the sports drama Dangal.
Ranbir Kapoor was cast as Rama, the hero of the story. Sai Pallavi was reported as Sita, and the Kannada star Yash was named as Ravana, the demon king, while also backing the project as a co-producer. The plan was to tell the story across two films released a year apart.
The project mattered because it paired a major Hindi-cinema cast with international-level visual effects, an area where Malhotra's studios had worked on Hollywood productions. Earlier screen versions of the Ramayana, including Adipurush in 2023, drew criticism over their effects and dialogue, so expectations for this one were high. The announcement set the stage for the box office run now being followed.
