Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana Producers Earned Rs 1,000 Crore Even Before Film's Release
Last Updated: Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, is a highly anticipated project by Prime Focus Studios. The teaser release boosted the company's market cap by Rs 1,000 crore. Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is one of the biggest, most expensive, and highly anticipated projects currently in the works, and the movie is being bankrolled by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios. The first glimpse of the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer was unveiled on July 3, which has already led the company to earn a huge profit even before the film's release. While Prime Focus had already enjoyed a 30% surge in its share price—from Rs113.47 to Rs 149.69 between June 25 and July 1—being listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the momentum gained further traction following the release of the Ramayana teaser, giving another major boost to the Namit Malhotra-led company. Two days before the first glimpse of the film was released, the company's share price surged to nearly Rs 175, pushing its market cap from Rs 4,638 crore on July 1 to a peak of Rs 5,641 crore. This resulted in a Rs 1,000 crore jump in the value of the Ramayana makers' holdings within just 48 hours. Eventually, as the market closed, the share price dipped slightly to Rs 169, with the market cap settling around Rs 5,200 crore. Ever since the first look was released featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, fans have been going gaga over the top-notch VFX and music. The film, touted as one of the most expensive ever made, is reportedly being produced on a budget of Rs 1,600 crore. Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Ram in the two-part Ramayana, is reportedly the highest-paid actor in the cast, taking home Rs 75 crore for each instalment, amounting to a total of Rs 150 crore, as per a Filmfare report. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana, the film is directed by Dangal and Chhichhore helmer Nitesh Tiwari. Produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with Yash's Monster Mind Creations, the epic is being touted as one of the biggest Indian films to date. Unveiled with the tagline 'Our truth. Our history," the teaser offers a visually grand peek into the ancient world of Ramayana, set 5,000 years ago. Shot for IMAX, the film is planned as a two-part release, with Part 1 arriving in theatres on Diwali 2026, followed by Part 2 on Diwali 2027. First Published:

Ranbir Kapoor Recommended Me For Ramayana, Says Indira Krishnan: ‘No Starry Tantrums'
Last Updated: Indira Krishnan says Ranbir Kapoor recommended her for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana after they worked together in Animal. After playing Rashmika Mandanna's mother in Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal, veteran actress Indira Krishnan is all set to reunite with Ranbir in Ramayana: Part 1, where she will be seen essaying the role of Kaushalya, Lord Ram's mother. In a throwback interview with Times Now/Telly Talk India, Indira revealed that it was Ranbir himself who recommended her for the role in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming magnum opus. Indira said, 'I did Animal with Ranbir Kapoor. After that, he recommended me for Ramayana. He is a very grounded person and never shows any starry attitude on the set. From spot boys to his co-stars, he behaves politely with everyone. I have learnt one thing from Ranbir: Give respect, take respect." Opening up about her journey and the impact Ranbir had on her, the actress added, 'I have worked in television for many years. I have witnessed many actors showing their arrogant nature on the set. I have suffered a lot. I have seen heroes and heroines coming late on the show while I would sit and wait for them. Ranbir Kapoor respects his work a lot. I learned from him that if you respect your work, people will respect you." The teaser for Ramayana: Part 1 was recently unveiled and has left fans in awe. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana, the film is directed by Dangal and Chhichhore helmer Nitesh Tiwari.
