Ramayana is gearing up for a global push with the makers reportedly planning a release on a scale rarely seen in Indian cinema. Producer Namit Malhotra and his team want to take Ranbir Kapoor’s mythological epic to audiences worldwide and make it one of India’s biggest international releases.
One of the biggest steps in that direction is the film’s language strategy. Reports suggest that Ramayana is being dubbed in nearly 40 languages, so audiences in different parts of the world can watch it in a language they understand without depending on subtitles. If the plan goes ahead as reported, it could give the film a much wider reach overseas.
Ramayana To Be Dubbed In Nearly 40 Languages
Taking an Indian epic to the world is no small task. Along with its scale and star cast, the film needs to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds. The makers appear to be keeping that in mind with their reported plan to release dubbed versions in nearly 40 languages.
According to the report, the complete list of languages will be announced in the coming weeks. If confirmed, this would be an unusually ambitious move for an Indian film.
The team has already started building an international presence. Ramayana was promoted at CinemaCon 2026 and San Diego Comic-Con, while Sony Pictures joining as its international distributor has added further weight to the global release plans.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Targets A Worldwide Audience
The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The casting brings together some of the biggest names from Indian cinema for this ambitious retelling of the epic.
Nitesh Tiwari, known for directing Dangal (2016), is at the helm, while Namit Malhotra is producing the project. The music is being composed by A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, a notable pairing for a film rooted in Indian mythology.
With this cast and the reported dubbing plans, the makers clearly have their sights set beyond the Indian market. The aim is to make the story accessible to audiences across the globe.

The first part of Ramayana is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on November 5, 2026 during Diwali week. The second instalment is planned for Diwali 2027, making it a two-part theatrical saga.
The big question now is whether the film can turn its scale and international plans into strong audience interest across markets. Dubbing it in nearly 40 languages if confirmed, would be a major step towards reaching viewers well beyond India.
For now all eyes are on the makers’ next announcement, particularly the official list of languages. The film’s global ambitions are clear and the next few updates should offer a better idea of just how far Ramayana plans to go.
