Ahead of the release of Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana, Icon Star Allu Arjun extended his heartfelt wishes to Namit Malhotra and the entire team. Taking to his Instagram story, Allu Arjun wrote, “My best wishes to the entire Ramayana team. It’s not just a movie. It’s a representation of our culture and an attempt to raise the bar of Indian cinema.”

He added, “I wholeheartedly send my pure, positive wishes to the entire team for their divine attempt. Let’s all unite and come forward to support a pure attempt that carries our stories, our culture and our glory. Jai Sri Ram.”

Allu Arjun has always been supportive of good films, and he was also the first star from Tollywood to appreciate Dhurandhar (Part 1). The mythological film, which also stars Yash and Sai Pallavi, is directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is heading for a massive opening at the box office, with advance bookings already crossing Rs. 100 crore gross worldwide. The film is releasing globally tomorrow, and the response to ticket sales has been very encouraging. The positive word of mouth from early premieres held in India and foreign countries has also helped build the buzz.

The interest is not limited to Hindi audiences. Telugu moviegoers are also showing good interest in the film, and bookings in the Telugu states are on an impressive note. SVC Releases is handling the film’s release in the region. Audiences across other languages are also looking to watch the epic on day 1, with many opting for premium formats.

With bookings at this level, a Rs. 150 crore gross opening day looks very easy. The actual collections will depend on how the film performs after its release, but the current advance sales have already set high expectations. It will be interesting to see how much the film collects on its first day and whether it can go beyond the expected figure.

Ranbir Kapoor plays Rama, Sai Pallavi appears as Sita, Yash plays Ravana, and Sunny Deol takes on the role of Hanuman. Ravi Dubey, Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, Indira Krishnan, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh and Vivek Oberoi are also part of the cast.

Backed by Namit Malhotra and Yash through Prime Focus Studios, Monster Mind Creations and DNEG, Ramayana features music by Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman. The film is releasing in multiple languages and formats, including IMAX.

Kiran Abbavaram-produced mystical supernatural thriller Hatah was originally scheduled to release on November 6, 2026. However, just two days before the scheduled date, the makers announced an indefinite postponement.

The makers cited the clash with multiple other releases as one of the reasons behind the change in plans. However, another reason they mentioned is quite interesting. They said the delay would also help them ensure the best possible sound experience for audiences in theatres.

This is an interesting reason, as the makers want audiences to get the best experience while watching the film in cinemas. The post-production work is also progressing smoothly. A new release date will be announced soon.

Dil Raju will release the movie in Nizam and Uttarandhra. Anush Gor directed the film, which features Kushlu Maddala, Rehman, Namritha MV and Tanuja Puttaswamy in key roles. Kiran Abbavaram produced it along with Pournami Entertainments. Jecin George is the music director.
