Ramayana vs Wakanda Forever Budget Comparison 3Shorts [ws7vQSTlQQX]
Producer Namit Malhotra of Prime Focus confirmed that director Nitesh Tiwari's two-part epic Ramayana carries a combined budget of nearly $500million (over 4, 000 crore), making it the most expensive film production in Indian cinema history. While Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had a substantial $250 milion budget for a single feature, Ramayana's massive financial backing is directly tied to its lead visual effects partner, Seven-time Oscar-winning studio DNEG (led by Malhotra). Working as both co-producer and primary VFX house, DNEG has leveraged custom-built CGI software, advanced motion capture, digital set extensions, and virtual production technology to bring ancient Ayodhya, mythical creatures, and divine astras to life-allowing the production team to deploy Hollywood-grade rendering quality and world-building assets at scale across the entire two-part saga.
