Instead of showing the forest as real, emphasis was laid on creating an imaginary world.
After the release of 'Ramayana', there was discussion about the forests, trees, plants and natural scenes shown in the film. Some viewers believed that the jungle has been presented in a more imaginary manner in the film rather than showing it realistically.
On this, Pankaj Kumar expressed his views and said that the purpose of making the film was not to bring the real forest on screen. The team wanted to create a world that was more grand than reality and true to the story.
He said that if the film had been shot in a real forest, the scenes would have looked much more realistic. But it was necessary to create a different kind of world for scenes like Ram and Lakshman's fight with the demons, the attack of giant demons and the characters' activities among the trees.
The second part of the film will be released in 2028
'Ramayana', being made under the direction of Nitesh Tiwari, is being prepared in two parts. Its first part was released in theaters on 5 November 2026. Whereas, the second part was initially planned to be released in 2027, but now its release has been postponed to 2028. The film's producer Namit Malhotra has confirmed this change.
