Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is enjoying a phenomenal run at the box office, making an early discussion about its OTT release seem premature. However, clips from the film circulating on social media have sparked curiosity about whether audiences will get access to an alternate version when it premieres digitally.
One particular clip has caught the attention of movie lovers. It reportedly features a scene from the international English version in which an injured Lakshmana escapes from the Asuras alongside Goddess Sita. As wolf-like creatures chase them and prepare to attack, Lord Rama arrives to protect them.
Interestingly, this sequence was reportedly included in the international version but was missing from the Indian theatrical version. This difference has now triggered discussions about the film’s eventual digital release.
With JioHotstar expected to be the streaming platform, audiences are wondering whether the makers will offer both versions or provide a single version with multiple language options. An official clarification on the OTT version is still awaited.
Mounted on a grand scale, Ramayana: Part 1 features Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, Yash and several other prominent actors in key roles. Namit Malhotra and Yash have produced the film, while Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman have jointly composed the music.
Meanwhile, the epic is expected to continue its impressive theatrical run and add further numbers to its worldwide box-office total.
