The makers of ‘Ramayana’ may be all set to release their magnum opus a week before its initial release. Amidst much hype and anticipation for the film’s Diwali release, new reports suggest Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrrer, directed by Namit Malhotra, may arrive a week before the festivities.Almost a month after Yash first teased at CinemaCon that the film would release around “late October”, a new report on Bollywood Hungama has teased that the film will release on October 30, 2026. According to the report, producer Namit Malhotra is looking at the possibility of releasing the film before the festive holiday, “so that the business peaks in the second week. It is here to redefine the business by not only bringing a pre-Diwali release but also a film that gets a bigger second week than the first because of the festive period.“The makers are said to be discussing plans to advance the film’s release and “a final decision will be taken soon.”Speculations about the revised timeline came when actor Yash told a Hollywood news portal, “We are planning ‘Ramayana’ this year, (on) Diwali, which is October last week.”If the release date is shifted to October 30, the film may get an early lead at the crowded year-end box office. It would also avoid money at the international box office with ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ and ‘The Cat in the Hat’, both releasing on November 6. The move could also boost its IMAX showings, with ‘Ramayana’ and ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ heading to premium large-format screens.The report added that the announcement of the official release date may depend on the finalization of the film’s distribution deal. The makers are said to be talking about a massive distribution offer of 450 million euros, with negotiations still ongoing.‘Ramayana: Part One’ was released on Diwali 2026, while ‘Ramayana: Part Two’, the second installment of the ambitious mythological epic is slated for release on Diwali 2027.
