Keeping fans on their toes, the much-anticipated Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' has been creating buzz ever since its announcement. After reports of Ranbir Kapoor’s whopping fee amount made headlines, it is now being reported that the film itself is a costly project with its budget at a mammoth figure of USD 100 Million which is around Rs 835 crore, that too just for the first part, given that the magnum opus is billed to be a trilogy. 

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, “Ramayana is not just a film but an emotion and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to make it a global spectacle. Producer Namit Malhotra plans to expand this further as the franchise grows. The idea is to take the audience on a visual treat with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram. The budget of Ramayana is close to Rs 835 crores. The film requires 600 days of post-production work, which in itself speaks volumes about the investment required to create some of the most original visuals on the spectacle. The idea is to take Indian Cinema at a global level.”
