Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’ has recently become the talk of the town and is one of the most spoken-about projects of the Indian Film Industry. In 2020, producer Madhu Mantena confirmed big plans of releasing a trilogy to the Indian Epic, ‘Ramayana’ with Nitesh Tiwari taking the director’s seat. The project is now finally ready to go on the floors with the final cast on board. The makers have roped in Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles, whereas the film will hit floors in the first quarter of 2024.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, the makers are actively working on the VFX plates of the film. The report mentioned, “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.”
Ranbir Kapoor has been finalised to essay the role of Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, whereas Yash as Ravana. The report stated, “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.”
The source continued, “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.”
