The clouds of crisis have darkened over the film ‘Ramayana’, which is being made on the efforts started by Allu Mantena Media Ventures LLP under the name ‘Project Ramayana’. There is no movement in any studio regarding the shooting of this film anywhere in Mumbai for the last three days. Some media sources say that all the work on the film has stopped and it is feared that this film may also be closed now.

Producer Madhu Mantena along with Nitish Tiwari started work on the film ‘Ramayana’ in the year 2019. At that time, this film was to be made in three parts, the work of Part One had started then but due to lack of investors for the film, this film has not been officially started yet. Then yesterday the news came that now this film will be made in two parts. These days the entire business of the film is being handled by Prime Focus and actor Yash who is associated with the film as a producer.

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos over the film, Madhu Mantena has suggested to its current producers that it would be better to stop the shooting of the film, if it is going on, to avoid any legal dispute and further spoiling of relations. It is noteworthy that for the past several months, the pictures and videos taken for the look test of the film ‘Ramayana’ were widely publicized in the name of the commencement of the shooting of the film. The intention was to attract domestic and foreign investors through this movement. But till now no big studio or foreign investor has shown interest in this film.

The budget of the film ‘Ramayana’ is said to be 100 million. Prime Focus has also talked to some foreign companies to release the film, but it is as important for the film to be released in its original language as it is for it to be released abroad to earn its money. Due to lack of investors for the film, the names of its artists and technicians have not been officially announced yet. Kannada actor Yash, who was earlier considered for the role of Ravana in the film, has now become the co-producer of the film, but he has expressed his inability to play the role of Ravana in the film.
