Filmmaker Anurag Basu has revealed that Ranbir Kapoor chose Nitesh Tiwari’s magnum opus Ramayana over the long-planned biopic on legendary singer Kishore Kumar.
Basu, who had been developing the Kishore Kumar biopic for years with Ranbir in mind for the lead role, shared during an interview with BBC News that the actor faced a tough choice between the two ambitious projects. Ultimately, Ranbir opted for Ramayana, in which he will play Lord Ram.
The epic, being made in two parts on a staggering budget of ₹4,000 crores, is scheduled for release during Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027. After Ranbir stepped away, the role of Kishore Kumar in the biopic was subsequently offered to Aamir Khan.
