Bringing the Timeless Tale of Ramayana to Life on a Global Scale

The legendary battle between good and evil is being reborn for the big screen! Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana, a saga rooted in Indian mythology which is inspiring a new cinematic universe, has revealed its Global Title Launch, giving fans across the globe a first look at this reimagining of one of the world’s greatest epics.

From the mind of filmmaker and producer Namit Malhotra, Ramayana is being filmed for IMAX with Prime Focus Studios producing in collaboration with Monster Mind Creations. Nitesh Tiwari directs this ambitious two-part movie series, which boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast, including Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshmana.

Adding to the grandeur, the film features the first-ever collaboration between Oscar-winning composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, who craft a powerful score that blends East and West. The mythic world of ancient India is being envisioned by production designers Ravi Bansal (Dune: Part Two, Aladdin) and Ramsey Avery (Captain America, Tomorrowland), while the action sequences are choreographed by Terry Notary (Avengers, Planet of the Apes) and Guy Norris (Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa).

With myth, music, and modern storytelling converging, Ramayana marks a step forward in Prime Focus Studios’ mission to tell stories that transcend borders and resonate across cultures.

Producer Namit Malhotra, CEO and founder of Prime Focus Studios, shared:

“This is a cultural movement for every Indian around the world. With Ramayana, we’re not just retelling history; we’re introducing our legacy to the world. Bringing together the finest global talent allows us to tell this story with authenticity, emotion, and state-of-the-art cinematic innovation. We’ve seen Ramayana portrayed before — but this version reimagines its landscapes, creatures, and battles with the scale and splendour they deserve. As Indians, this is our truth. Now, it will be our gift to the world."

Part 1 is set to premiere in 2026, with Part 2 continuing the saga in 2027.
