The Indian epic‑drama ‘Ramayana’, starring Ranbir Kapoor, has been entered for the 2027 Academy Awards, marking a rare Oscar bid for a Bollywood production.
Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming feature "Ramayana" has been formally submitted to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the 2027 Oscar race. The submission, confirmed by the film’s producers, places the Indian retelling of the ancient epic among the eligible titles for the Best International Feature Film category and several other technical awards.
The move follows a growing trend of Indian filmmakers seeking recognition at the Oscars, but only a handful have previously secured a nomination. "Ramayana" is being positioned as a high‑budget, visually ambitious project that blends traditional storytelling with modern cinematic techniques, aiming to appeal to both domestic audiences and global jurors.
While the Academy’s shortlist will be announced later in the year, the film’s entry has already generated buzz within the Indian entertainment industry, with industry insiders noting the strategic timing of the submission ahead of the awards season.
If selected, the film could become one of the few Indian productions to compete on the Academy’s main stage, potentially opening doors for more cross‑cultural collaborations in the future.
