Actor and co-producer Yash clarified that the ₹4,000 crore budget covers both parts of the upcoming Ramayana film, including global release and promotion costs.
The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, is scheduled for a worldwide release on November 6, just ahead of Diwali.
Yash, who plays Ravana, emphasized that the high expenditure is a strategic effort to position Indian cinema as a global soft power alongside his other project, Toxic.
