The construction of the sets of Ayodhya and other major parts is still being processed, and the actors will join as soon as the construction of the sets is complete.

The OG Lord Ram of the Indian Television, Arun Govil, is reportedly playing Dashrath in the film. But since the actor is contesting elections from Meerut, he will join the shoot after the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
Currently, only Ranbir Kapoor will commence the shoot in mid-April, while Yash, who is currently busy in Toxic, will join the shoot in July. He has to shoot for his portions separately, and the set for Lanka will take 50 – 60 days to complete. Even Sai Pallavi is expected to join the shoot in July.
Reports suggest that a huge set worth 11 crore has been made for Ayodhya. Similarly, sets for Gurukul, Lanes of Ayodhya, Forest for exile, and others are being created separately and will take up a huge amount of the budget. The second most expensive set might be creating Mithila for Ram-Sita Swayamvar!
For the unversed, Ramayana is speculated to be a three-part film that will delve into detailed incidents and tales from the epic. The first part will end with Sita’s abduction, and hence, Ravana, played by Kannada superstar Yash, will have a very short role to play in part 1 – only for Sita Swayamvar and the abduction.
