Despite intellectual property beef between producers, Ranbir-Sai’s Ramayana shoot continues; team to shoot at Film City next week
Sai Pallavi and Ranbir Kapoor
Early this month, the Nitesh Tiwari-directed Ramayana ran into legal trouble owing to its intellectual property rights. The production house, Allu Mantena Media Ventures LLP, which originally owned the rights to the film, has been in negotiation with Prime Focus Technologies Limited since April for the transfer of ownership. However, the talks failed due to an incomplete payment to formalise the agreement.

While everyone assumed that the disagreement would stall the Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi-starrer, sources claim that the production team and director remain undeterred in their commitment to bringing the epic tale to life on the big screen. A source from the set informs that there is no delay in work, saying, “It has been business as usual for [everyone on set]. We have been working relentlessly every day. There is no scope for stalling as bulk dates have been taken from the cast and crew.”
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding the project’s financing and production logistics, the spirit of collaboration prevails on set. “South actors Sai and Yash are committed until May-end. We will be filming a crucial sequence in Film City next week, and most of the cast will be present for the shoot,” added the source.
