The makers are making the film, intending to create an impact globally. Addressing this, the producer told the LA Times, "It’s a global film from the day we start. I’m not trying to make it to appease Indian people in India… If you go and watch Ramayana and your family watches it, and people in India watch it, what’s the difference? It should speak to you like any other film."

Namit added that he is making the film, intending to attract both believers and non-believers. Drawing comparisons from West's blockbuster movies like Avatar and Gladiator. “In my mind, if people in the West don’t like it, I consider that a failure. It is meant for the world. If you don’t like it, shame on me; we should have done a better job," the Ramayana producer added.

The first part of the movie will release this Diwali, while the second part will release on Diwali 2027.
