Galactic budget for the epic

Indian cinema is set to scale new heights with Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, being mounted on a record-breaking Rs 4000 crore budget (around $500 million). Speaking on The Prakhar Gupta Xperience podcast, Namit revealed, “Everybody called me a lunatic. No Indian film comes close to it budget-wise.” The two-part epic, releasing in 2026 and 2027, will star Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Yash as Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita, with music by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Even Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar (2009), made on a budget of $237 million, and the Avengers films, which cost around $300 million each, fall short. Only Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), when combined with a total budget of $700 million, manage to surpass it. Namit added, “We are making the largest film in the world for the greatest story. I still think it is cheaper than some big Hollywood films.”
