This film is a two-part series, and Yash is reportedly scheduled to film for 60–70 days for “Ramayana: Part 1”.

The film is among the most eagerly awaited releases of 2026. Ramayana has an estimated budget of Rs 835 crores ($97.4 million), positioning it as one of the priciest Indian films ever made.
