Ranbir Kapoor’s next big role is not just another film. It’s a legacy.
He plays Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, a two-part cinematic epic that aims to set new benchmarks in mythological storytelling. Scheduled for a grand Diwali 2026 release, the film is being mounted on an enormous scale with state-of-the-art VFX and top-tier production.

While Sai Pallavi has been cast as Sita and Yash is expected to play Ravana, the spotlight remains firmly on Ranbir. And the most talked-about number right now is not part of the mythology, but his fee.
According to industry sources, Ranbir Kapoor is charging ₹75 crore per film, bringing his total compensation for the two-part saga to ₹150 crore. This places him among the highest-paid actors in India and reflects the producers’ confidence in his box office appeal and performance depth.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, known for critically acclaimed blockbusters like Dangal and Chhichhore, Ramayana is being envisioned as a pan-India theatrical event. Filming has already begun quietly in Mumbai’s Film City, and first visuals or character reveals are expected closer to the release window.
The story, the scale, and the star power are perfectly aligned. Ranbir Kapoor’s fee makes it clear just how big this retelling of Ramayana is going to be.
