But in the West, it's the total opposite. If you tell them we have made a good movie in a humble manner, they will dismiss our film as a small project. That's exactly why Namit has confidently said that this movie is mounted on ₹4,000 crore. We need to prove the strength of the Indian film industry to the global market,” Yash said.
He added, “Ramayana is a two-part project, and the budget for both the movies combined is definitely ₹4,000 crore. The budget includes post-production and promotional expenses as well.”
On the box office front, Ramayana earned ₹64.85 crore net ( ₹77.50 crore gross) in India on its opening day. Its worldwide gross on day one stands at ₹127.50 crore.
