Filming for Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, is currently underway at Mumbai’s Film City with sets in Josh Maidan and Helipad. As per a News18 report, the working title of the film is ‘God Power.’
To prevent photo leaks, the ‘Ramayana’ team is now filming indoors and has covered the sets. Despite efforts like a no-phone policy on set, photos of Ranbir and Sai's looks from the film were leaked. According to the report, curtains have been put up all around, and surveillance has been tightened.
News18 quoted a source as saying, ‘Ranbir will continue shooting for Ramayana and begin the prep for Love And War in the second half of August or early September simultaneously. While Alia will get busy with filming YRF’s upcoming spy thriller with Sharvari Wagh, Ranbir will dive into script reading sessions and discussions with Bhansali before beginning its shoot. Bhansali, in fact, will begin Love And War with him as the latter may reach the conclusion of the shoot of the first part of the Ramayana trilogy by November. The shoot of Love And War will begin in Mumbai but a set for the same is yet to be constructed.’
The report states that the film will feature ‘elaborate song sequences,’ with Bhansali personally discussing them with his production design team. It has not been disclosed when Vicky Kaushal, who is also part of the film, will join the shoot.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Sheeba Chaddha as Manthara. However, an official announcement regarding the film is still pending.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic saga Love & War is set to release in theatres on Christmas 2025. The film will star Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. Bhansali announced his next film in January this year.
