Namit Malhotra’s ambitious transformation Ramayana It is already poised to become one of the most talked-about cinematic projects in Indian film history. Directed by Nitish Tiwari, the upcoming mythological epic is being presented on a scale rarely seen before in Indian cinema.
Ramayan becomes the first Indian film to involve more than 10,000 crew members globally
Powered by Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana It is envisioned as a two-part global cinematic event that aims to blend Indian storytelling traditions with world-class filmmaking technology and visual spectacle.
According to the makers, the film has brought together over 10,000 crew members from across the world, making it the largest crew ever assembled for an Indian film. The massive workforce includes experts from production design, visual effects, action choreography, costume departments, and multiple technical divisions involved in the creation of the epic’s detailed world.
The project also involves top international technicians and experts to ensure that the film matches global cinematic standards. From massive set construction to cutting-edge visual effects and extensive world-building, the production is being designed as a landmark cinematic experience rather than a traditional film release.
Over the years, Indian cinema has delivered a number of ambitious films across genres, especially in the mythological and historical realms. However, Ramayana It is being positioned as a project that can potentially redefine the scale and presentation of mythological storytelling for a modern audience.
The biggest highlight of the film is its collaboration with Oscar-winning VFX company DNEG, which has previously worked on internationally acclaimed projects. The association is expected to play a major role in enhancing the visual experience of the epic and bringing the ancient tale to life with global production quality.
The film is also expected to get a worldwide IMAX release, further underscoring the makers’ intention to establish it as an international theatrical spectacle. While anticipation continues to grow regarding the casting, visual treatment, and storytelling approach, the scale of the production has already become a major talking point among film enthusiasts and industry insiders.
Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with eight-time Oscar winner DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana Will be released globally in two parts. Part 1 is scheduled for release in Diwali 2026, while Part 2 is expected to hit the theaters during Diwali 2027.
