Following its monumental run with domestic audiences, the grand cinematic adaptation of Ramayana starring Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for a major international expansion. Creators of the epic project are now setting their sights on overseas markets, with concrete plans to introduce the mythological drama to viewers across several key Asian nations and Russia by the year 2027.
Submission to Chinese Censors
Insiders indicate that the film has already been submitted to the censor board in China. Given the strong historical performance of Indian films in the Chinese market, where titles like Dangal, 3 Idiots, and Secret Superstar achieved massive box office success, producers are optimistic that Ranbir Kapoor's latest venture will resonate well with local moviegoers.
Expanding Across Asia and Russia
Beyond China, the release strategy encompasses Japan and South Korea, where the feature is anticipated to arrive by March 2027. Furthermore, arrangements are underway to stage a large-scale release in Russia. While these international expansion efforts are moving forward swiftly, official calendar dates for individual countries have yet to be formally announced by the studio.
Production Scale and Financial Milestones
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the massive production took four years to complete, utilizing elaborate sets and cutting-edge visual effects. Built on an estimated budget of 4000 crore rupees, the film's first part debuted on November 5, 2026, amassing a net collection of 724 crore rupees domestically and surpassing 12,622 crore rupees in worldwide earnings.
Dedicated Performances by the Cast
To prepare for his portrayal of Lord Rama, Ranbir Kapoor underwent rigorous training, including extensive practice in horseback riding and archery. He is joined by South Indian star Yash, who plays the role of Ravana. The two-part epic continues to draw praise for its scale and performances as it prepares for its upcoming international theatrical journey.
