The two part epic directed by Nitesh Tiwari will release in IMAX on Diwali 2026 and 2027.
2026 is shaping up to be a blockbuster year for Bollywood with ambitious and star-studded films lined up for release. From Border 2 and King to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love And War and Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, the year promises entertainment across genres with epic scale productions and franchise expansions.
Get ready for the biggest crossover moment in cinema. The 3D promo of Ramayana, the most anticipated film of 2026, will debut in theatres alongside Avatar: Fire and Ash. Early viewers are calling the 3D experience absolutely stunning and something fans cannot miss on the big screen.
Indian cinema is going global with ambitious projects like Ramayana, Varanasi, Spirit, The Paradise, and NTRNeel. These films aim to transcend boundaries with international collaborations, massive budgets, and storytelling designed for worldwide audiences.
There is a buzz that Nitesh Tiwari’s magnum opus Ramayana might face a delay. Reports suggest that Ranbir Kapoor is now planning to prioritize Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War. This decision comes as the shoot of the mythological epic is taking longer than expected.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated film Love And War has been postponed from its Eid 2026 release date. The film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal will now release in the second half of 2026, averting a major clash with Yash’s Toxic.
Producer Boney Kapoor has shared some amazing stories about Ranbir Kapoor’s professionalism from the sets of Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar. He revealed that the star never complains, once worked 16 hours straight, and even did 52 retakes for a single shot until the director was satisfied.
Producer Namit Malhotra has set a high bar for Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’, stating that the epic, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, is being made for a global audience. He declared that he would consider the film a ‘failure’ if it doesn’t resonate with Western viewers, emphasizing its universal emotional appeal.
Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane has strongly criticised the announcement of Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal, India’s first AI-generated mythological film set for release on Hanuman Jayanti 2026. Sharing the poster on Instagram, he wrote, “And so it begins… Who TF needs writers and directors when it’s ‘Made in AI’.”
After Raid 2 and Kesari 2, actor Amit Sial is now stepping into mythological cinema with Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that Sial has been cast as Sugriv, with shooting already underway in Mumbai.
Amitabh Bachchan is in discussions to take on a unique dual role in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. While the megastar has already been confirmed as the voice of Jatayu, reports now suggest he may also serve as the sutradhar, the narrator guiding the epic’s story. An insider revealed that the makers believe Bachchan’s baritone will bring unmatched gravitas to the film’s opening.
