Director Nitesh Tiwari’s much-awaited film Ramayana is generating strong excitement ahead of the first part’s scheduled release on November 5, 2026. However, a new report has raised questions about the release timeline of the second instalment. According to reports, Ramayana Part 2, which was expected to arrive during Diwali 2027, may now be released during Diwali 2028. The makers reportedly want more time to deliver the scale and visual experience they have planned for the epic story.
Why Has Ramayana 2 Been Delayed?
According to a report, producers Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari are aiming to present the second part as a major cinematic spectacle. The story’s larger battles and grand action sequences are expected to be central to the film. The team reportedly needs additional time to complete the shooting and develop the action scenes. The delay is said to be linked to the makers’ desire to achieve their creative ambitions rather than rush the production.
Action and VFX Need More Time
The second instalment is expected to feature some of the biggest battle sequences in the franchise. Reports suggest that designing these scenes has taken longer than anticipated. The filmmakers are reportedly working extensively on action choreography and visual effects to bring the epic story to the screen. Namit Malhotra is said to be confident about presenting Indian mythology to a global audience, and the team reportedly wants to make the film’s scale match that ambition.
A Massive Production Ambition
The Ramayana franchise has been associated with a reported production budget of around ₹3,000 crore across its instalments. The makers are said to be prioritising the quality of the final product and are unwilling to compromise on the scale of the project because of time or financial pressure. However, the reported new release date has not yet been officially confirmed by the filmmakers.
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash Lead the Cast
In the first part, Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi portrays Goddess Sita, and Yash appears as Ravana. Sunny Deol is also part of the franchise as Lord Hanuman. Fans are particularly eager to see more of the major battles and Hanuman’s role in the second instalment, where the story is expected to reach a much larger scale.
Will the New Date Be Announced Soon?
Reports suggest that the makers could reveal the second part’s revised release date through a post-credit sequence attached to the first film. If the reported schedule change is confirmed, audiences may have to wait until Diwali 2028 for Ramayana Part 2. For now, the immediate focus remains on the first instalment’s November 5 release, while fans await an official announcement about the sequel.
