MUMBAI, Aug 19: Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious Ramayana is set to create a new milestone for Indian cinema by becoming the first Indian film to receive a worldwide release in the immersive ScreenX format.
The two-part retelling of the Indian epic is being mounted on a large scale, with the makers planning an international theatrical presentation aimed at giving audiences a more expansive visual experience.
ScreenX is designed to extend selected visuals beyond the traditional cinema screen, creating a wider field of view for viewers. The format is particularly suited to large-scale action, fantasy and spectacle driven productions.
The decision to present Ramayana in the format reflects the scale of the project and its international ambitions. The film is being positioned not only as a major Hindi-language production but also as a global cinematic event.
Tiwari is directing the two part adaptation, which has attracted significant attention because of its extensive production design, visual effects and ensemble cast.
The makers’ decision to explore an advanced theatrical format is expected to strengthen the film’s appeal in overseas markets while offering audiences a different way to experience its large battle sequences, landscapes and mythological settings.
The ScreenX development adds another dimension to the project’s growing international profile as Indian filmmakers increasingly experiment with premium theatrical formats to compete for audiences worldwide.
With the story being divided into two parts, Ramayana is among the most ambitious Indian productions currently being developed, and its technological presentation is expected to remain a major talking point ahead of its theatrical release.
