Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has been touted as the most expensive Indian film ever made. Its producer, Namit Malhotra, has previously claimed that the two-part mythological epic has been mounted on a staggering budget of Rs 4000 crore. However, Yash, who stars in and co-produces the film, explained why producer Namit Malhotra has been vocal about the film's massive investment and argued that the figure should be viewed through the lens of its global reach.
