With Ramayana, producer Namit Malhotra is collaborating with Ranbir Kapoor. The film is poised to be the biggest ever made and is set to take Indian storytelling onto the global map!
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios, in collaboration with 8-time Oscar-winning DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana stands as one of India’s most ambitious cinematic spectacles, envisioned on a truly global scale. With anticipation steadily building, the glimpse of Rama, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, offers a striking first look into this epic universe, grand, majestic, and nothing short of a cinematic marvel.
While the excitement surrounding the film continues to rise, producer Namit Malhotra has penned a congratulatory note for Ranbir Kapoor on being featured in TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2026. While sharing a picture with him and director Nitesh Tiwari, he jotted down the caption—
“From watching our fathers share meals and laughter to now, four decades later, coming together to tell one of the greatest epics of all time… it’s been quite a journey.
I have witnessed your journey closely. The highs, the setbacks, the quiet resilience, and the way you’ve stayed so grounded through it all, both on and off screen.
There was never a doubt in my mind. There is no one better to portray Lord Rama. You are, without doubt, the finest actor of our generation.
Being named among TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2026 feels absolutely deserving. It’s great to see the world finally take notice of you and your talent.
This is just the beginning, my friend. More power to you.”
