Overview
- Kajal Aggarwal said Saturday that only Part 1 of the two-part Ramayana has been filmed and that her role as Mandodari will be small because Lanka-focused scenes appear mostly in the sequel.
- The project remains anchored by a high-profile ensemble with Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi (Ravie) Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Hanuman.
- Makers have announced a staggered release plan with Part 1 due for Diwali 2026 and Part 2 targeted for Diwali 2027 as promotional material is rolled out selectively.
- Kajal praised co-star Yash for his professionalism and talent, and multiple reports identify Yash as both the film’s Ravana and a co-producer alongside Namit Malhotra.
- The Ramayana adaptation taps a deep cultural memory of the epic in India and its careful, phased marketing means upcoming glimpses and the start of Part 2 production will shape audience expectations next.
