A mythological epic may have already crossed a major filming milestone, but Ramayana Part 2 is only now entering the stretch that could define its scale on screen. With battle-heavy storytelling, CG creatures, and a vast motion-capture load still ahead, the sequel is shaping up as the more technically demanding half of Nitesh Tiwari‘s two-part spectacle.
The Latest Update On Ramayana Part 2
The biggest production update is clear: around 60 per cent of Ramayana Part 2 has already been shot. Cinematographer Pankaj Kumar, who has worked on the film alongside Mahesh Limaye, said in an interview, “We have already shot about 60 per cent of Part 2.” He also explained why the road ahead is longer than that number may suggest, adding, “A lot of VFX work, a lot of motion capture work is left because the second part is going to be more grand than the first part.”
That makes the sequel’s timeline easier to understand. Even with a substantial portion of principal photography already done, the film still has to move through an effects-heavy pipeline that demands far more than a conventional shoot-and-finish schedule.
Why The Vfx Load Is So Massive
Kumar’s comments also point to where the real scale lies. He said the second part has “lot more CG characters, like Hanuman and the whole vanar sena (the monkey army).” That immediately shifts the challenge from filming alone to building an entire mythological battlefield in post-production.
The film’s action design appears to rely heavily on layered motion-capture, creature work, and large digital environments, especially for war sequences and superhuman characters. That is why the sequel is expected to take longer to complete despite its strong progress on floors. On a film like Ramayana Part 2, the spectacle is not finished when the actors wrap. It is finished when the visual world, the scale of combat, and the CG characters all come together convincingly.
Cast, Director And Film Details
Ramayana is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra under Prime Focus Studios. The cast across the franchise includes Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol and Ravi Dubey. The series is mounted as a mythological action drama based on the Indian epic, with the first film released in 2026 and the second chapter now lined up for 2028.

The story follows Ram, Sita and Ravana through an expansive retelling designed for a large-scale theatrical experience. The second film is expected to push deeper into the conflict-driven portions of the saga, which also explains its heavier dependence on VFX and motion-capture work.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Ranbir Kapoor, Ramayana arrives at a phase when his star image has been balancing scale with reinvention. Over the past few years, he fronted Brahmastra Part One: Shiva in 2022, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in 2023 and Animal in 2023, with Animal emerging as a major commercial success. After leading Ramayana: Part 1 in 2026, he now remains at the centre of one of the industry’s most ambitious franchise bets, with Ramayana Part 2 set to carry that momentum into 2028.
