Twelve massive sets for the film are constructed currently in Mumbai Film City and the set work will be completed by the mid of August. The sets include Ayodhya and Mithila. The makers are erecting the sets to suit a 3D shoot. Ramayana shoot resumes in August and the lead actors Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi will participate in the shoot.
