Ramayana: Part 2 is about 60% filmed, with the makers saying more work remains before a theatre release planned for Diwali 2028. Multiple outlets report comments from cinematographer Pankaj Kumar about the production progress and the additional tasks needed for the sequel.
Coverage emphasizes that the remaining schedule is driven by post-production demands, particularly visual effects and motion-capture. Outlets also say the film is planned on a grander scale than the first, featuring more computer-generated characters including Hanuman and the vanar sena, and it uses a fantasy visual approach for sequences set in forests and during large battles.
While some reports cite an updated release timing, the overall storyline across outlets is consistent: filming is underway, the release date has moved to 2028, and the team points to VFX and motion-capture as the key reasons the sequel is taking longer. Outlets differ mainly in how they explain the “what’s left” and whether they add extra context beyond production updates.
