Ravi Dubey joins the cast as Laxman, and Sunny Deol takes on the powerful role of Hanuman. Adding to the excitement, Yash will be seen as the fierce and complex Raavan.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is set to release in two parts. The first part will arrive in theatres on Diwali 2026, followed by the second part on Diwali 2027.
There were strong rumours that the first look of Ramayana would be unveiled at WAVES 2025. Confirming this, producer Namit Malhotra shared that they had planned to reveal it at the event, but decided to postpone it out of respect for the victims of the recent Pahalgam attack.

Jason Kelce shares emotional family moment—and Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson can't hold back their reactions
Jason Kelce melts hearts with family post as Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson gush over it (Instagram) While Jason Kelce has made headlines for his powerful plays and passionate NFL takes, it's his 3-year-old daughter Bennett—lovingly called 'Benny'—who's been winning over hearts online. Just two weeks ago, Kelce was deep in football talk, defending the much-debated 'tush push' play on his podcast. But while the veteran center was fully immersed in gridiron strategy, Benny had her own priorities. When Kelce turned to her with a lighthearted question—'Should the Eagles be allowed to do the tush push?'—her candid reply instantly stole the show: 'I'm in time out.' Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson are all hearts over Jason Kelce's touching message about family That abrupt yet adorable answer perfectly sums up Benny's energy—a delightful mix of sass and sweetness. As the third of four daughters in the Kelce household, she's already carved out a vibrant identity. Her siblings, Wyatt (5), Elliotte (4), and newborn baby Finn, are no strangers to her big personality. In fact, Benny became a viral sensation earlier this year when the family announced Kylie Kelce's pregnancy. The heartwarming snapshot featured all three big sisters in matching 'big sis' sweaters. But what stood out most was Benny's raw reaction—tears streaming down her face as the camera captured a truly honest moment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dễ dàng lắp đặt gạch lát sàn cao su – Làm mới ngôi nhà của bạn một cách dễ dàng!

At least Ellie, mom, and dad are on the same page!' Kylie wrote. Recently, though, it was a simple, everyday moment that propelled Benny back into the spotlight. Jason Kelce posted a hilarious photo of his daughter completely zonked out in bed, fully dressed in a bright blue outfit and shoes—clearly knocked out after a day full of excitement. He captioned the post with a relatable dad joke: 'Me after drinking Garages all afternoon.' The comparison between a post-happy hour adult and an exhausted toddler struck a chord, and fans couldn't stop laughing. NFL personalities joined in on the fun. 'It's the body placement for me,' commented Erin Andrews, while Charissa Thompson added, 'Same girl.' But beyond the chuckles, it was Benny's pure exhaustion and authentic vibe that had parents everywhere nodding in solidarity. That moment, much like her time-out declaration, reminded everyone that kids bring a refreshing honesty to life—even when their dads are busy talking football. Whether she's unintentionally ending football debates or collapsing mid-outfit into a nap, Benny Kelce is proving to be a scene-stealer in her own right. And with each charming appearance, she continues to showcase the softer, more humorous side of one of the NFL's most beloved families. Also Read: Nick Chubb and Joe Mixon together?

Wayne Gretzky's daughter Paulina Gretzky's workout fit has fans raising eyebrows
Paulina Gretzky's workout fit stirs debate online (Instagram0 Paulina Gretzky has once again turned heads—not just for her signature style but for a fashion choice that's igniting chatter in the hockey world. Known for blending glamor with a laid-back athletic vibe, the daughter of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky shared a snapshot from the golf course that stirred more than just style envy. A single detail in Paulina Gretzky's workout attire is dividing fans—style statement or step too far? Wearing a sleek red and black athletic outfit, Paulina captioned her Instagram story, 'Another day on the course! Went with a red and black look and these sneakers tie it altogether.❤️🖤⛳️' But it wasn't the outfit itself that caught the attention of fans—it was her headwear: a Florida Panthers cap. That choice raised eyebrows, especially among die-hard hockey fans. The Florida Panthers, currently clashing with the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals, are not part of Wayne Gretzky's storied NHL history. His career saw him don the jerseys of the Indianapolis Racers, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, and New York Rangers—never the Panthers. Interestingly, Paulina's support for the Panthers isn't new. She and her husband, pro golfer Dustin Johnson, have openly rooted for the team. A few weeks ago, she posted celebratory photos with the caption 'panthers club,' further fueling speculation about her loyalty during this heated series. To add to the intrigue, her Panthers-themed post came just as Florida edged out Edmonton with a nail-biting 5-4 overtime victory in Game 2. Around the same time, Wayne Gretzky made headlines with a pointed comment regarding Florida's no-state-income-tax policy, suggesting such advantages could tip the NHL talent scale. Despite the fan frenzy, there's no evidence of a rift between the hockey icon and his daughter. Their bond appears strong. Still, Paulina's fashion-forward nod to the Panthers during a high-stakes face-off with her dad's former team was bound to stir some icy tension.
