Why the Makers Chose a Fantastical Visual Style
Some viewers previously questioned why the film’s forests appeared stylized rather than grounded in reality. However, Kumar explained that the creative team intentionally designed an elevated fantasy realm.
“If we shot Ramayana in a real jungle, the world would look very real, but maybe that’s not what we’re looking for,” Kumar said. “With giant monsters and characters swinging from tree to tree, there is no realism in that. You are giving a fantasy world to the audience.”
Release Pushed to 2028 Ahead of Epic Showdown
Originally slated for 2027, Ramayana Part 2 has officially moved to 2028. Producer Namit Malhotra told E! News that the extra year is essential to deliver visual justice to a project of this magnitude.
Meanwhile, the sequel builds toward the legendary battle between Rama and Ravana, with Raghav Juyal portraying Ravana’s son, Meghnad. For more updates on upcoming blockbusters, visit The Hollywood Reporter India or read our latest coverage of Upcoming Indian Mythological Movies.
