Ramayana shoot will begin in early 2024.
According to the latest reports, Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi will begin shooting for Ramayana in February 2024.
Ranbir Kapoor is currently making headlines after the release of the teaser of his highly-anticipated film Animal. The actor seems to be on a roll because soon after the release of Animal, he will reportedly begin shooting his next film, the first instalment in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana franchise. The film’s leading lady, Sai Pallavi is also said to begin shooting early next year with Ranbir. Meanwhile, reports claim that Yash will join the shoot from July onwards.
Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying, “Nitesh Tiwari and team have been working actively on creating the world of Ramayana and the blueprint is finally all ready. The VFX plates are prepared by the Oscar Winning Company, DNEG and it’s a world that would blow away the minds of audiences. However, the strength of Ramayana won’t be the visual but the simplistic storytelling and compelling inter-character emotions.”
The source added, “Ranbir and Sai will start shooting for the film around the month of February 2024. The first part of the trilogy will focus more on Lord Ram and Sita, leading towards the conflict of Sita Haran. The duo will be shooting for the film from February till August 2024, before calling it a wrap for Ramayana: Part One.”
“Yash has a rather extended appearance in Ramayana: Part One, however, his character will dominate the proceedings in the second part, which is set in Sri Lanka. He has allotted 15 days to shoot for Ramayana: Part One,” the source was quoted as saying.
Ranbir Kapoor will play the role of Ram and Sai Pallavi will essay the role of Sita in the film. Yash will play the role of Ravana. The three actors have reportedly completed their look tests for the film. Backed by Madhu Mantena as the producer, the trilogy will be helmed by Nitesh Tiwari as the director.
