Pratham Sankalp event in Delhi, Namit Malhotra, the producer of
Ramayana, revealed Ranbir and Sai Pallavi were the first choices for Rama and Sita. He said, "Nitesh was very clear about casting when we used to have our discussions. Ranbir and Sai were his first choice. He and I share that sentiment. We have actually got people who we have felt would be the best. And people who are for some reason not connected with us on this film have brought other people into the film who have equally done a terrific job.”Nitesh added, "I have a strong opinion that an artist's eyes tell the truth. I could always see Lord Ram in Ranbir's eyes and Sita Maa in Sai's eyes. Apart from them being extremely gifted and talented, I just felt the kind of sincerity I was looking for and the kind of preparation I wanted the character to go through for such important roles, I could find in only these two beautiful souls. And I am so happy."The first part of
Ramayana will be releasing on Diwali 2026. The film will continue with its next part in 2027.
