How the Deal Went Down
T-Series beat Sony Music in an intense bidding war, with Sony reportedly going up to Rs 70 crore before losing out. The agreement is structured as a two-part deal covering both installments, with the Rs 75 crore functioning as a refundable advance. This smashes the previous record held by Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which had sold its music rights to T-Series for Rs 54 crore.

Why Everyone’s Watching This Film
Ramayana already has North Indian distribution locked with Dharma Productions and overseas distribution with Sony Pictures. With music now handled by T-Series, and two legendary composers — Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman — shaping the score, the soundtrack is shaping up to be one of the film’s biggest draws. The trailer drops digitally on July 30 and will also run in theatres alongside Sony’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film boasts a massive ensemble including Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sunny Deol, Sai Pallavi, and more, on a reported budget of Rs 1400–1500 crore for Part One alone — pushing the total franchise budget toward Rs 3000 crore.
