expanded into movie production, working on titles like The Hurricane Heist and Brahmastra Part One.

A major turning point came in 2014, when Prime Focus merged with UK-based VFX giant Double Negative (DNEG). The merged entity has since delivered stunning visual effects for films like Blade Runner 2049, Tenet, and the Dune series. Over the past decade, DNEG has won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects seven times, cementing its place in Hollywood.Namit revealed in an interview with Hindustan Times that he began conceptualizing Ramayana for the big screen as early as 2015, though filming officially began in 2023. His vision goes far beyond just making a big-budget Indian movie.

“I want to make India proud and inspire the world with Indian storytelling. Just as we’re moved by films like Oppenheimer or Forrest Gump, I believe Ramayana has the same universal appeal. I’m fortunate to bring this story to life,” Namit shared.Ramayana will be released in two parts, with Part 1 expected during Diwali 2026 and Part 2 following in Diwali 2027. The film features:
Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram
Sai Pallavi as Sita
Yash as Ravana
Sunny Deol as Hanuman
Ravie Dubey as Laxmana

The film’s music is another high point, with a collaboration between AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer, marking the latter’s Bollywood debut.
