With Baahubali, SS Rajamouli opened the gates for pan-India films, which have become a trend over the last decade. By winning the Oscar with RRR, he has also opened the gates for Indian films to reach international standards. Now, many films are following the route and are shaping up as international-level features. Here’s a look at them.
1. Ramayana
This is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in lead roles. Going by the words of producer Namit Malhotra, this movie is being made with a budget of a whopping 4000 crore rupees, which makes it expensive than many blockbuster Hollywood films. The first part of Ramayana will hit the screens during Diwali 2026, while the second part will release during Diwali 2027.
2. SSMB 29
After RRR, Rajamouli is planning to take Indian cinema a step further with his next SSMB 29, featuring Superstar Mahesh Babu. Touted to be an action-adventure set in a forest backdrop, this movie features Prithviraj Sukumaran and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in other main roles.
