Director Namit Malhotra has postponed the release of his film Ramayana by two days, moving it to a date that coincides with the launch of Ranbir Kapoor’s latest movie. The shift could affect box‑office competition between the two releases.
Director Namit Malhotra announced that the release of his upcoming film Ramayana will be delayed by two days from the originally scheduled date. The new release window now overlaps with the launch of Ranbir Kapoor’s latest feature.
The decision to shift the release date was made to avoid a clash with a major star’s film, though the exact reasons for the postponement were not disclosed. Industry analysts suggest that the move could influence audience turnout and box‑office earnings for both movies.
Ramayana, which is expected to be a significant entry in the mythological genre, will now hit screens on the revised date, while Ranbir Kapoor’s film is set to debut on the same day. The overlap has sparked discussions among distributors and exhibitors about potential revenue sharing and screen allocation.
Both filmmakers have not released detailed statements regarding the impact of the scheduling change. Fans of Ramayana and Ranbir Kapoor’s film are advised to check local theater listings for updated showtimes.
