While Ranbir will play Lord Ram Sai will essay the role of Sita and the role of Ravana will be portrayed by Yash. As the epic saga is set to hit the big screens on Diwali 2026 lets take a look at the man who is the brain behind this masterpiece. Who is Namit Malhotra Ramayana’s Producer? Namit Malhotra comes from a family of film producers and cinematographers. While Namit’s father Naresh Malhotra was a producer his grandfather M. N. Malhotra was a cinematographer. Namit completed his education in computer graphics and then started his own company called Video Workshop. His co-founders were his teachers from college. Interestingly the editing studio they created was based out of his father’s garage. The company worked on shows like Boogie Woogie Gaatha and also provided post-production facilities for Channel V. In 1997 Namit decided to merge Video Workshop with his father’s film production and rental business creating Prime Focus. The company initially offered technological and creative services for television shows and films before expanding into film production with projects like The Hurricane Heist and later Brahmastra Part One. In 2014 Prime Focus merged with Double Negative a UK-based VFX studio to form DNEG. The company specializes in visual effects and has worked on films like Blade Runner 2049 Tenet and the two Dune films. In an interview with Hindustan Times Namit shared his vision for Ramayana. He said “Im keen to not just make India proud but excite the world about Indian storytelling and really celebrate global cinema together. Its not like we dont like Hollywood films. Its not like we dont see an Oppenheimer and have a great feeling or a Forrest Gump or any of these landmark films.” He further added “Their stories are universal. I believe this is universal too. This is that opportunity that I believe Im pretty fortunate to have received in my life and I hope I can deliver.”
