The Film Bollywood Has Never Attempted Before From global scale to world building to emotional storytelling, the makers of Ramayana are aiming far beyond a traditional mythological film.
The excitement surrounding Ramayana has now reached another level after recent interviews featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Nitesh Tiwari, producer Namit Malhotra, and Yash gave audiences a deeper look into what may become the most ambitious Indian film ever made.
For the makers, Ramayana is a responsibility, an emotional journey, and a global cinematic event rolled into one.
Director Nitesh Tiwari openly admitted that directing Ramayana felt “intimidating, challenging and inspiring” at the same time because of the cultural and emotional weight attached to the story.
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor spoke passionately about portraying Lord Ram, describing the character as the embodiment of “Maryada Purushottam”- the ideal man.
According to the him, the role has deeply impacted him personally, even influencing how he now narrates stories to his daughter.
Producer Namit Malhotra has repeatedly emphasized that Ramayana is being designed with the scale of Hollywood epics like The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Avatar, and Gladiator.
From creature design and VFX to action choreography and world building, the film reportedly aims to match international standards while remaining rooted in Indian culture.
One of the most talked about aspects from the interviews was the film’s groundbreaking 3D presentation. Those who reportedly witnessed exclusive footage described the visuals as something “never seen before” in Indian cinema, with several reactions even comparing the experience to top tier Hollywood productions.
The film has onboarded over 10,000 crew members globally, making it the first Indian film to operate on such a gigantic manpower scale.
At CinemaCon and international promotional events, Yash and Namit Malhotra also highlighted the film’s intention to introduce Indian mythology to worldwide audiences in a universally cinematic way.
Interestingly, Yash revealed that his Ravana will not directly face Ranbir Kapoor’s Ram in Part 1, indicating that the makers are carefully structuring the story across two films instead of rushing key moments.
Behind the scenes, the team appears obsessed with perfection.
From recent creator set visits revealed that feedback is being taken extremely seriously, with Namit Malhotra personally interacting with visitors and treating them as “Ramayana Creatives” rather than ordinary guests.
And judging by the scale, confidence, emotion, and worldwide ambition visible so far, Bollywood may genuinely be preparing for its biggest cinematic moment ever.
