Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis publicly supports Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film “Ramayana,” describing it as “the film of the millennium” and expressing disappointment if it does not win an Oscar. Both outlets report that Fadnavis frames the project as a large-scale production with strong creative and technical qualities, suggesting it has the potential to perform well on an international awards platform.
The news coverage also ties the comments to the film’s release timeline. Times of India says the first installment is scheduled to be released in November 2026, adding that Sony Pictures has confirmed the date. NDTV focuses more on the praise and Oscar-related remarks, without detailing the same release specifics.
Overall, the reporting presents Fadnavis’s statements as an endorsement of the film and its prospects, alongside the officially stated release window for the first part of the “Ramayana” film series.
