Producer Namit Malhotra has clarified that the upcoming Ramayana film will hit screens in India and overseas on different dates, citing distribution and marketing strategies.
The highly anticipated film Ramayana is set to premiere on different dates in India and overseas, according to producer Namit Malhotra. The staggered release schedule, he explained, is a strategic decision aimed at optimizing distribution and marketing efforts across diverse markets.
Malhotra noted that distribution agreements with international partners often dictate separate release windows, allowing the film to reach audiences in key regions at times that align with local viewing habits and festival calendars. This approach also helps avoid clashes with other major releases that could dilute the film’s impact.
While the exact Indian release date has not yet been announced, the producer confirmed that it will follow the overseas launch by a few weeks. The plan is to build momentum abroad before the domestic debut, thereby creating a global buzz that can translate into stronger box‑office performance in India.
Overall, Malhotra expressed confidence that the dual‑date strategy will maximize the film’s reach and profitability, ensuring that Ramayana captivates audiences both at home and abroad.
