What did Namit Malhotra say about the Ramayana film?
In a podcast with Game Changers, Namit Malhotra said, “The shooting for Part 1 is almost over now. When I started planning the film, we had a huge vision. Everyone, including actors, asked me if I had enough funds to pull it off. I’ve finished the first film and not borrowed a single rupee. I don’t know where the money is coming from. When people ask me how I pulled it off, even I don’t know. This is something else. It’s just happening on its own. This is not just a project or a business proposition.”

Even in my experience of 30 years, I can't pinpoint how it's happening, but it is...We've won so many Oscars for the biggest of Hollywood films. But Ramayana is even bigger and tougher to crack all of them.”
