The wait for Nitesh Tiwari’s magnum opus is officially heating up. Namit Malhotra’s ambitious project Ramayana has just dropped its international trailer, marking a massive step forward in the film’s global campaign alongside Sony Pictures Entertainment. The footage offers a breathtaking look at the starkly different worlds of Lord Rama and the formidable Ravana, giving fans a taste of the grand scale and high-octane action that this cinematic universe promises to deliver.
Adding to the excitement, the makers released striking solo posters featuring the leads. Ranbir Kapoor, embodying the grace and intensity of Lord Rama, is captured in a forest setting, drawing his bow with sunlight filtering through the trees. In contrast, the poster for Yash as Ravana is hauntingly powerful, showing the king of Lanka amidst the aftermath of a fierce battle, clutching a spear against the backdrop of his imposing palace. The aesthetic choices highlight the battle-worn, larger-than-life nature of the antagonist’s presence.
This grand reveal took place at a star-studded event in Bengaluru, hosted by Prime Focus Studios and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. The team was out in full force, with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Ravi Dubey, and director Nitesh Tiwari joined by legendary composer AR Rahman. The film features an ensemble cast including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.
Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with the eight-time Oscar-winning team at DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, the story is being envisioned as a two-part epic. The first installment is slated for a global release on November 5, 2026, followed by the second part in Diwali 2027. The project will arrive in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, with an IMAX presentation. While Sony Pictures handles global distribution, Dharma Productions will take charge of the Hindi-speaking market in India.
