Why is Ramayana releasing on different dates in India and overseas?
The English trailer of Ramayana revealed that the film will release on November 6, but it has left fans wondering if the date also applies to India, especially since Diwali is on November 8. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Ramayana producer Namit Malhotra has now cleared the confusion, stating that the film will have a separate release date in India and overseas because the international distribution works from a Friday standpoint.
What did Namit Malhotra say about Ramayana having different release dates?
Explaining the reason behind having two release dates, Ramayana producer Namit Malhotra said, “So we are releasing internationally on November 6. The international distribution works from a Friday standpoint, so that’s why it’s releasing on the 6th of November. But in India, we are currently targeting the Diwali release.”
When will Ramayana release in India?
Ramayana will release overseas on November 6; however, since the makers are still targeting a Diwali release for the Ranbir Kapoor film in India, it will release on November 8 since Diwali falls on that day in 2026. However, confirmation regarding this is still pending.
What is the budget of Ramayana?
Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. It is being called Indian cinema’s most ambitious project, as it is mounted on a huge budget of Rs 4800 crore across both parts.
What did Ranbir Kapoor say about portraying Lord Ram in Ramayana?
Ranbir Kapoor has called the role an ‘opportunity of a lifetime’, however, during the San Diego Comic-Con, the actor said that he was hesitant to play Lord Ram on screen when he was first offered the film. “The first question that popped into my head was, am I worthy? Am I the right person…?” he said, adding, “All the people who have watched Ramayana have their own interpretation of Lord Ram. Some people will feel I’m the wrong casting, others may think I’m the right one. What matters is approaching the role with the right intentions, faith and belief.”
Why is Ramayana’s November 6 release date special for Ranbir Kapoor?
