According to the makers, the film has now become the first Indian movie to onboard more than 10,000 crew members globally, setting a massive new benchmark for large-scale filmmaking in Indian cinema.
Backed by producer Namit Malhotra under Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Monster Mind Creations, the mythological epic is being mounted on a scale rarely seen in Indian film history. The project is reportedly bringing together technicians, visual effects artists, costume designers, action experts and production specialists from several countries.
The announcement has already created huge excitement online, with fans calling Ramayana “India’s biggest cinematic project”.

According to reports, the massive workforce includes experts from production design, VFX, action choreography, costume departments and world-building teams. The makers are reportedly aiming to create a cinematic experience that can match global fantasy franchises in terms of scale and visual quality.
The film is planned as a two-part saga and is expected to combine Indian storytelling traditions with cutting-edge filmmaking technology. Reports also suggest that top international technicians have been brought onboard to ensure world-class visual effects and large-scale set construction.
Social media users have already started comparing the scale of the project to Hollywood fantasy epics, especially because of its massive budget and international collaborations.
