Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming film, Ramayana, is touted as the most costly Indian film ever produced. Producer Namit Malhotra, who has contributed to the film's visual effects, elaborates on his perspective regarding this assertion. He believes that the narrative crafted by Nitesh Tiwari possesses the capability to compete on a global scale. Namit envisions Ramayana as a potential benchmark akin to Oppenheimer or Forrest Gump. He articulated his thoughts as follows:
Namit Malhotra on Ramayana as a comparable opportunity to Oppenheimer and Forrest Gump
In a discussion with Hindustan Times, Namit expressed his conviction that Ramayana could emerge as a global narrative similar to Oppenheimer and Forrest Gump. "We often find ourselves inspired by landmark films like Oppenheimer or Forrest Gump. Their narratives resonate universally. I am confident that this story is equally universal. I consider this an extraordinary opportunity that I am fortunate to have encountered in my career, and I aspire to deliver on it," he stated.
Namit Malhotra's Oscar win
Namit Malhotra has received seven Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects, including accolades for notable films such as Christopher Nolan's Interstellar and Dune.
Namit Malhotra aware of Adipurush debacle
The previous attempt to depict the Ramayana on the big screen, Om Raut's Adipurush, faced significant criticism. The film starred Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan in leading roles. Namit, aware of the backlash, emphasizes the necessity for careful handling of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana.
Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. The film is set to be released in two parts, with the first installment scheduled for 2026 and the second for 2027.
