Sony Dates Two-Part 'Ramayana' for Global Theatrical Release
Sony has scheduled a November 6 worldwide release for the fantasy action-adventure 'Ramayana,' starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Prime Focus Studios, the film will be available in multiple languages including English. Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman are composing the music, with action choreography by Terry Notary and Guy Norris.
The two-part adaptation of the ancient Indian epic pairs a high-profile international cast with a sweeping narrative centered on a royal couple’s exile and ensuing trials. Production credits include Oscar-winning composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, alongside action designers Terry Notary and Guy Norris, known for large-scale Hollywood sequences. Sony’s involvement covers distribution beyond India, with a multilingual rollout that includes an English dub. The November 6 date positions the first installment for a global theatrical window, with the second part presumably following later.
This release could broaden global awareness of Indian mythology among mainstream audiences, potentially boosting cross-cultural appreciation for epic storytelling. The involvement of internationally recognized composers and stunt choreographers may help the film travel beyond traditional diaspora markets, influencing how non-Indian viewers engage with such narratives. However, its impact depends on execution and marketing, and it may also intensify competition among major studio releases during that period.
