Ramayana: More than six years for a particular scene
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi's Ramayana directed by Nitesh Tiwari is releasing on 5 Nov 2026. The makers are promoting the film in a prestigious manner and the pre sales are breaking new records.
In the meantime, Nitesh Tiwari speaking to scribes, recalled a scene that took more than six years to finish. He said “You know how much time it has taken for us to finish the Ravana and Jatayu fight? From the time I briefed the previous artist to the time we finished the whole thing, six and a half years. One action sequence. I can go on and on about it for an hour just to tell you how much effort went into making everything from scratch. And thousands of people have worked on it,"
He explained the scene saying “We took close to two years to arrive at that. And then a lot of things changed, which is why it took us so long to shape the Ravana and Jatayu fight. Because previously, we assumed the design of Pushpak Viman would be something like that, and we shaped the sequence around it. And when we loved the final design, which was completely different from what we had first thought, we had to do a lot of iterations. We created some 40-50 designs for Pushpak Viman before finalising the one you see in the film. We didn’t want something that did look like it could fly; we wanted some kind of science to go into it. Because I believe, we all believe there was science behind everything that happened that time,"
The film stars Yash in the role of Ravana.
