Ramayana Part 2 Is Already 60% Shot — And It Will Be Bigger, Grander And Heavier On VFX

Even before Ramayana – Part I has finished its record-breaking theatrical run, the sequel is already well under way. Cinematographer Pankaj Kumar has revealed that around 60% of Ramayana: Part 2 has already been shot, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India that has set fan excitement soaring. “We have already shot about 60 per cent of Part 2. A lot of VFX work, a lot of motion-capture work is left because the second part is going to be more grand than the first part,” Kumar said, confirming that the toughest work still lies ahead. According to Kumar, the sequel will feature far more computer-generated characters than the first film, with Hanuman and the entire Vanar Sena taking on a much larger role — which is why the visual effects and motion-capture workload is so heavy. The second chapter, co-written and directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, and is currently slated for a Diwali 2028 release after being pushed back from its original Diwali 2027 date to allow more time for post-production. The update lands at the perfect moment: Part I, released on November 5, has just crossed ₹1,000 crore worldwide, and the news that most of the sequel’s principal photography is already in the can will only add to the anticipation. With around 40% of the shoot still to go and a mountain of VFX ahead, Part 2 is shaping up to be an even more ambitious spectacle than the film currently rewriting the box office record books.
