Namit Mahotra in talks with Warner Brothers for Ramayana
According to sources close to the development, Namit Malhotra is in talks with Warner Brothers for a mega partnership extending to all 3-parts of Ramayana. “Ramayana is the most ambitious film of Indian Cinema and the team is committed to bringing out an uncompromised product for the viewers. All the actors have gone out of their way to make this project a reality to the spectacle as the combined vision is to represent an Indian Story at a Global Level. Budget isn’t even considered as the team is going all out for an authentic projection of India’s most celebrated epic,” revealed a source.
The source further added that Namit is negotiating a mega deal with the global giant, Warner Brothers. “The deal is being negotiated not just to get monetary support for the project but also to ensure collaboration with the right partners on the distribution and marketing front in international markets up to the film’s release. The plans out in the market are just the tip of the iceberg, as Ramayana is a 100% made-in-India film of an Indian Story aiming at Global Domination,” the source added. Ramayana is presently being produced by Namit Malhotra, Nitesh Tiwari and Yash.
