This filmmaker takes a dig at Ranbir Kapoor-Sai Pallavi's 'Ramayana' Rs 4000 crore budget: 'Hollywood films like Matrix, Avatar never spoke about...'
Ever since the title glimpse of Ramayana featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Ravie Dubey, and Sunny Deol among others has been released, the jaw-dropping visuals have created excitement among the audience.
While the world eagerly awaits the epic face-off between Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama & Yash's Ravana, the producer of Ramayana and the creative mind behind this humongous project shared that the combined budget of the two parts is Rs 4000 crore, which is about $500 million. While the Ramayana: Part 1 budget equals _Black Panther: Wakanda Forever_ and Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3, it is also higher than _Superman_ ($225 million) and Jurassic World Rebirth ($180 million).

Namit Malhotra is the founder and non-executive director of Prime Focus Limited & DNEG, the VFX company behind masterpieces like Inception, Dune, and Interstellar and others.
'So, when we set out to make it, six, seven years ago, just after the pandemic, when we started to really get serious about mounting it and producing it, and budget-wise, it was like everybody thought I'm a lunatic. Because no Indian film, by a long distance, comes close to it. So, to put it simply, it'll be about $500 million by the time we're done, on both films put together, part one and part two, which is over Rs 4,000 crore,' said Namit while talking to Prakhar Gupta.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, fans need to move on from this season as Fortnite is gearing up for another one. Epic Games hasn't yet revealed the actual release date of Season 4, but with the end time of Season 3, we can actually deduce the time of the launch of the season. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 launch date and time explored There is going to be Halo crossover in Season 4 in Fortnite. | Image via Epic Games. Right now, Fortnite features a total of three Battle Passes: the main Battle Pass (Fortnite Super), the OG Battle Pass, and one that of LEGO Fortnite. All of these Battle Passes mention the same end date and time - August 7, 2025, at 1:30 AM ET. As Fortnite follows an immediate season launch format, Season 4 is going to be launched on the same day when Season 3 ends. However, it's not like that Season 4 is going to be launched right after the second Season 3 gets expired, because there will be a server downtime immediately after the end of the current season, for a patch to implement the upcoming season. Epic Games yet to announce the server downtime for Season 4. However, the matchmaking process in Season 3 will be disabled half-an hour prior to the end time of the current season, that means at 1 AM ET on August 7.

Season 4 is going to be an important one in Fortnite as it's going to be the last season of Chapter 6. There is expected to be a loose end left behind after the final battle between Daigo and Superman.

Disney's The Fantastic Four: First Steps retained the top spot at the UK-Ireland box office in its second weekend, pulling in an additional £3.1 million. This brings its cumulative total to £15.4 million. The film has already outperformed five other Marvel Cinematic Universe titles and is expected to soon surpass the final UK-Ireland earnings of Ant-Man (£16.3m), Iron Man (£17.4m), and Ant-Man and the Wasp (£17.8m). I recognize a Mother move when I see one. #FantasticFour #ScarletWitch The Naked Gun debuts strong but falls behind in the rankings Paramount's The Naked Gun opened with £1.82 million across 632 sites, averaging £2,880 per venue. A few site results are still pending. The film's debut edges past comparable comedy titles like Rush Hour (1998) and Nativity 3 (2014), both of which also opened at £1.81 million and ended with lifetime box office figures of £7.4 million and £7.6 million respectively.

Although unlikely to match the £13.7 million earned by its 2022 predecessor, it remains a solid performer. Also from Universal, Jurassic World Rebirth dropped just 20% in its fifth weekend, earning £1.27 million. With a total now at £31.6 million, it stands as the fifth-highest-grossing film in the Jurassic Park series. It may still catch up to 2022's Jurassic World: Dominion, which ended with £35.1 million. Superman, horror entries, and global titles round out the charts Warner Bros.' Superman fell from second to fifth, earning £1.26 million on its third weekend—a 34% decline. Its total now stands at £24.3 million, trailing only three films from the previous DC Extended Universe lineup. Sony's horror film Bring Her Back, directed by the Philippou brothers, opened with £499,877 from 499 cinemas, with previews lifting its total to £1.2 million. Other horror entries like I Know What You Did Last Summer and 28 Years Later added £195,150 and £94,671 respectively to their totals, now at £2.5 million and £15.4 million. Yash Raj Films' Saiyaara, an Indian romance, held impressively with only a 3% drop, adding £489,484 to surpass £2 million, making it the year's highest-grossing Indian film in the UK-Ireland market. Other noteworthy entries included Warner Bros.' F1: The Movie, which added £485,798 in its sixth weekend, taking it to £20.8 million. Smurfs added £353,000 (total £3.8 million), while How To Train Your Dragon continued to perform with £184,568, crossing £22 million. #FantasticFour grossed $24.4M in domestic previews 💰 Biggest preview night of the year Even long-running titles such as Lilo & Stitch remain strong in cinemas, adding £58,000 in its 11th weekend to reach £36.9 million.
