Producer Namit Malhotra is planning to release the highly anticipated movie 'Ramayana' a week earlier than scheduled, on October 30, 2026, to leverage the Diwali holiday season. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash. Reports suggest a massive distribution deal worth ₹450 crore is in the works. The strategy aims to build strong word-of-mouth in the first week to boost box office collections during the festival. Part 2 is expected in Diwali 2027. https://udayavani.com/cinema/namit-malhotra-contemplating-a-masterstroke-to-prepone-ramayana-to-october-30-2026-a-week-before-diwali-062597 #creator program
