Overview
- AR Rahman confirmed the collaboration with Hans Zimmer in an interview published Sunday, calling the partnership “epic” and saying working with Zimmer is “a great honour.”
- Reports from multiple outlets say the two‑part Ramayana is being mounted on a reported near‑₹4,000 crore budget, which producers have positioned as a large‑scale, technically ambitious project.
- The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, and features an ensemble including Sunny Deol, Lara Dutta and Ravi Dubey, with Part 1 set for Diwali 2026 and Part 2 for Diwali 2027.
- Rahman praised the movie’s 3D trailer, saying its music and sound stand out, and outlets note the production emphasizes advanced 3D presentation and high‑end sound design.
- Producers and Rahman frame Zimmer’s involvement as a way to attract non‑Indian viewers by offering a globally recognisable score, a move that could help the film reach wider international markets and reshape how Indian mythological epics are exported.
