Director Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has officially entered the Oscars race, with the makers submitting the epic for consideration at the 99th Academy Awards. The submission is an independent entry in the general categories — Ramayana is not India’s official entry for Best International Feature Film, a slot that went to the Marathi film Gondhal.
The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, will release in two parts. The first instalment released in cinemas on November 5, 2026, with the second part following in 2027.
Featuring an ensemble cast including Yash, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Ravie Dubey and Rakul Preet Singh, Ramayana is one of the most ambitious Indian productions ever mounted, with a reported budget of ₹4,000 crore.
The submission to the Academy Awards places the film among a select group of Indian titles aiming for international recognition. The 99th Academy Awards ceremony takes place on March 14, 2027.
