So, yesterday, when I visited your pavilion with Honourable Prime Minister, I was amazed to see the quality of Ramayana which you are creating. I think that is the way we need to tell our stories to our new generation, and I think with what you are setting up will be the best in the globe."

Ramayana boasts an impressive star cast. Ranbir Kapoor steps into the role of Lord Ram, while Sai Pallavi plays Sita Mata with her signature grace. 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.
