Nitesh Tiwari had certainly not imagined such a start to Ramayana. Only days after the filmmaker kicked off his magnum opus, pictures of Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi as Lord Ram and Sita leaked as they shot a sequence in Film City, Goregaon. The internet had a field day dissecting the actors’ looks in the mythological drama, which also stars Yash as Raavan. To avoid a similar situation in the future, we hear Tiwari has sprung into action and made changes to the schedule.

Considering Ramayana is one of the most anticipated films, a premature reveal affects its novelty. Understanding this, the filmmaker is said to have rejigged the schedule to prioritise indoor shoots. A source from the set tells us, “Going forward, Nitesh sir has decided to focus on the indoor shoots, thus minimising chances of another leak. The outdoor shoots will happen at night for the next few weeks. Also, additional private security has been hired to safeguard the set from paparazzi or fans lurking around for pictures.”
Right when the first part of the trilogy rolled, the makers had exercised a no-phone policy on the set. “That rule is non-negotiable. The unit will shoot continuously till the rains hit as Nitesh sir wants to complete a chunk by June. The makers are planning to shoot an elaborate portion later this week, which could become the announcement sequence. It is expected to be unveiled in June,” adds the source.
