Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has been said to be one of the major projects, and if the reports are to be believed, the movie has a budget of Rs. 4,000 crore (Approx USD 500 million) for 2 parts. The movie, which features Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, is slated to be released on Diwali 2025, while Part 2 will arrive on Diwali 2027.
On July 29, 2026, the trailer was dropped, and the excitement around the movie is simply palpable. While the film is yet to be released in theatres and big results are expected, it has already secured Rs. 75 crore. Let’s know how.
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana already bags Rs. 75 crore
According to reports, T-Series acquired music rights for both parts of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana for Rs 75 crore, which makes it one of the largest music deals till now. To mention, reports have also claimed that there was a high-stakes competition among the labels; however, T-Series has secured the deal for crores, which has been structured as a refundable advance, making it slightly different from regular music rights. According to Filmy Forum, Ramayana has a target for domestic net collection to reach around Rs. 1000 to 1,500 crore and worldwide gross surpassing Rs. 2,000 to 2,500 crore.
The target has been backed by the strategy of festival release and the massive scale. Speaking of the Ramayana trailer, so far, the reviews have been mixed; however, Yash has been receiving praise from the audience. Social media users have found the script to be a bit loose, while Ranbir Kapoor’s acting skills are also being discussed.
Vivek Oberoi is playing the role of Vidyutjihva: Who was he?
While the leads Yash, Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi have grabbed the attention, so has Vivek Oberoi, who has a supporting but seemingly important role to play in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. In the recently released trailer of the movie, which is 4 minutes long, Vivek Oberoi could be seen in an action sequence, almost unrecognisable, behind a thick beard and huge headgear. Vivek is playing the role of Vidyuthjihva in Ramayana, and people have started discussing the same.
It is believed that Nitesh’s Ramayana will explore more of Ravana’s personal life than just focusing on the well-known story of the Hindu epic. Whether the detailed storytelling has led the movie to be released in two parts or not, only time will tell. Vidyuthjihva has been mentioned in several versions of the Ramayana, and he was Surpanakha’s husband and a Danav prince. He married Surpanakha secretly, even though the Rakshasas and Danavas were considered enemies. Some versions revealed that Vidyuthjihva had a secret motive to kill Ravana, and the Lankadhipati found that out and killed him during a fight, leaving his sister widowed.
Netizens on social media have expressed their excitement to see Vivek Oberoi on the screens after years. While the cast has reportedly been paid with massive paychecks, Vivek decided not to take a penny for his role. He himself revealed the same. Speaking to the Hindustan Times, Vivek said:
“I told Namit that I don’t want a penny for this. I want to donate it to any sort of cause that I believe in, which is kids with cancer. I told him I want to support you because I just love what you’re doing and I think that this will take Indian cinema on the global stage with a bang.”
