Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana is one of the most awaited movies and while everyone is eagerly waiting for it, looks like the Nitesh Tiwari directorial is getting bigger. If a recent report by Mid-Day is to be believed, the director is sparing no expense to make sure he brings the mythological world to life. Reportedly, 12 massive sets are being constructed in Mumbai’s Film City to recreate Ayodhya and Mithila.
It is being said that these sets will be ready by mid-August following which the cast will resume shoot.
Previously, a source close to the film told Bollywood Hungama that it is being made on a whopping budget of Rs 835 crore. “Ramayana is not just a film but an emotion and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to make it a global spectacle. The USD 100 Million ( ₹835 crore) budget is just for Ramayana: Part One. He (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 source said.
The insider further argued that Ramayana needs at least 600 days of post-production work and with this movie, the makers plan to take Indian Cinema to a global level.
Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the role of Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, whereas Sai Pallavi will be seen essaying the role of Sita. KGF star Yash will be seen playing the role of Raavan. Coincidentally, Arun Govil, who played Lord Ram in Sagar’s Ramayan, is also in the film. The actor will be seen playing the role of King Dasharatha.

On Tuesday, several reports suggested that Kunal Kapoor has also joined the stellar star cast, and begun preparing for the film.
