‘Ramayana’, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and headlined by Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, remains one of the most highly anticipated films this year. Produced by Namit Malhotra, the movie is set for release in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and English, with plans reportedly underway to expand into Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish as well. Meanwhile, a Bhojpuri-dubbed trailer of the film has gone viral on social media.
‘Ramayana’ fan-made trailer leaves netizens in splits
Turns out, it isn’t an official trailer but rather a fan-made Bhojpuri version of the film, which has quickly caught the internet’s attention, with netizens reacting to it in hilarious ways. One user tweeted, “I was waiting for Ravi Kishan voice on Ravana saying ‘Ghar jake sutti babu’.”
‘Ramayana’ fans push for official Bhojpuri release
Another user on X commented, “#Ramayana bhojpuri trailer is on another level.” Meanwhile, one netizen suggested that an actual Bhojpuri dub of “Ramayana” could potentially rake in over Rs 100 crore in the region, posting, “Release karna chahiye. Yadi promote sahi se kya gya to 100 cr ti yaha se hi aa jayege . Up bihar, 36gadh se.” It remains to be seen whether the film’s makers take note of this fan-made trailer and consider an official Bhojpuri release.
‘Ramayana’ budget of Rs 4,000 crore explained by Yash
During his appearance on ‘Aap Ki Adalat’, Yash addressed the reported Rs 4,000 crore budget for ‘Ramayana’. He explained, “That is a misconception, so let me clarify it to everyone. Rs 4,000 crore is the budget for the two-part film, including release and promotion. It is the same as Hollywood. Our partner (Namit) said this after including all that. Wahan ka maths waisa hi hota hai (The maths there is like this). A budget equal to the film, or sometimes more, they spend on promotion because it is global. But the revenue is global too.”
‘Ramayana’ to release in two parts using AI dubbing
The film is being released in two parts, with Part 1 slated to hit theatres this Diwali and Part 2 arriving on the same festival next year. Although ‘Ramayana’ has been shot in Hindi, the makers are reportedly using Brahma AI for the dubbed versions to ensure accurate lip-sync.
