The makers announced that Ramayana: Part One will release worldwide on 05/11/2026, with the date revealed on the first day of Navratri. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film is being presented as the first half of the two-part adaptation, with Part Two slated for Diwali 2027.
The 2026 Hurun India Rich List valued the Malhotra family's fortune at Rs 160 billion, a rise of 279 per cent that placed the family at 232nd on the list. The family is led by Namit Malhotra's father, Naresh Malhotra, and the wealth increase was attributed partly to the family's entrepreneurial ventures in visual effects.
