The makers of “Ramayana”, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, have reportedly submitted the film for consideration at the 99th Academy Awards.
According to NDTV, the film has been submitted to the Academy, potentially opening the door to an international awards campaign. The development comes as Marathi film “Gondhal” has been selected as India’s official entry in the International Feature Film category.
However, submission for general Oscar consideration does not make a film its country’s official entry or guarantee a nomination.
While “Gondhal” will represent India in the International Feature Film category, “Ramayana” will have to compete through the Academy’s submission and voting process in its respective category.
Naga-language film “Angh” has also reportedly qualified for Oscar consideration, adding to the Indian productions seeking recognition at the upcoming awards.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, “Ramayana” features Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita.
The film is among the major Indian cinematic projects centred on the Hindu epic and has attracted attention for its cast and production scale.
The 99th Academy Awards will recognise films released in 2026, with the ceremony scheduled to take place in 2027.
