The anticipation for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is reaching epic proportions, with Ranbir Kapoor stepping into the divine shoes of Lord Ram. Whispers on social media suggest Sai Pallavi might grace the role of Sita, while Yash, the KGF star, is rumored to embody the formidable Ravana.

A recent airport encounter has fueled the fire, with a social media user claiming Ranbir himself confirmed the project's details. During a casual chat, the actor reportedly revealed Ramayana's summer 2024 filming start and hinted at a "frickin' crazy" star cast.

While official confirmation remains elusive, other sources echo the summer 2024 timeframe, with February as a potential starting point. Ranbir's pre-production schedule hints at an early 2024 visit to DNEG, the Oscar-winning VFX studio crafting this cinematic masterpiece.

DNEG, known for its groundbreaking work, aims to pioneer innovative technology for Ramayana. Extensive testing with Ranbir, Sai Pallavi, and Yash indicates their commitment to a visually stunning experience.

The first part, spanning February to August 2024, will focus on Lord Ram and Sita's journey, culminating in the pivotal Sita Haran episode. Yash, though present in Part One, will truly dominate the second part, set in Sri Lanka. He has reportedly dedicated 15 days to filming this initial segment.

While Ranbir basks in the success of Animal, and Yash preps for Toxic, the Ramayana whispers continue to enthrall. The casting rumors, the production buzz, and the sheer ambition of the project make this epic retelling a must-watch in the making.
