More about Ramayana
In the majestic 3-minute-long teaser, the makers introduce who plays what. The stunning animation and spellbound VFX have already impressed the fans, leaving them wanting more.
Director Nitesh Tiwari also spoke about the upcoming mythology saga and said, “Ramayana is a story we’ve all grown up with. It carries the soul of our culture. Our aim was to honour that soul — and present it with the cinematic scale it truly deserves. As a filmmaker, it’s both a huge responsibility and a heartfelt honour to bring it to life.
"It’s a tale that has endured across millennia because it speaks to something deep and eternal within us. We are not simply making a film. We are offering a vision — one rooted in reverence, shaped by excellence, and made to transcend borders,” he added.
For the uninitiated, Ramayana will release in two parts – Part 1 releasing during Diwali 2026 and Part 2 during Diwali 2027.
The teaser also introduces the main characters – Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita, Ravie Dubey as Laxman, Yash as Ravan, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman.
