Truth in Ramayana reshoot
Truth in Ramayana reshoot. Namit Tiwari's Ramayana first part is going great guns at the box office. Already reports are coming that the film's second part is progressing at a brisk pace and 60% of the shoot has been completed and the makers are planning to release the film during Diwali 2028.
In the meantime, reports are coming that the makers are reshooting fe scenes. It is known that though the first part got good response, many criticised that the makers elevated Ravana's role to the next level and diluted the presence of Rama. Even the same happened in case of Soorpanakha. Ramayana second part will be wrapped in another six months.
Many are questioning why the makers postponed the film to 2028 when most of the second part shoot has been completed.The makers are of the opinion that the criticism regarding few roles in the first part should be toned down and so they are planning to go for reshoots.
Of late, sequels are failing in box office in Bollywood and the makers decided not to make such repeats. To the top of it, VFX and CG takes lot of time and this increases the budget. So reshoots will not impact the film's budget. The second part will feature Ram-Ravana war and this is touted to be the highlight. Apart from it, key episodes on Lord Hanuman. Any mistake regarding Hanuman role will impact the film and so some feel that the makers are reshooting to avoid any controversy.
