Ramayana First Look Teaser Out: Ranbir Kapoor's Lord Rama Clashes With Yash's Ravana
Last Updated: Ramayana Movie Teaser: The first look of 'Ramayana: The Introduction' with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash is out. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, it releases Diwali 2026 and 2027. Ramayana First Look Teaser: Makers have finally unveiled the first look from the much-anticipated cinematic rendition of the epic, headlined by Ranbir Kapoor. On July 3, they shared the first looks of Ranbir, Sai Pallavi and Yash from the upcoming project. On July 3rd, 2025, the makers unveiled the epic universe with a global launch of Ramayana: The Introduction, setting the stage for the timeless battle between two of mythology's most iconic forces: Rama Vs Ravana. The launch was global, featuring fan screenings across nine Indian cities and a spectacular billboard takeover at Times Square, New York. Led by filmmaker-producer Namit Malhotra and co-produced by Yash, Ramayana unites a formidable team of Oscar-winning technicians, Hollywood's finest creators, and India's biggest names in acting and storytelling. It reimagines one of civilization's most powerful epics as a cutting-edge cinematic universe rooted in Indian culture and crafted for a global audience. The video starts from the roots – the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva who rule the world. With striking animation, the video then introduces characters from Ramayana – Lord Rama played by Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. 'Ten years of Aspiration. Relentless Conviction to bring the Greatest Epic of all time to the World. An outcome through a collaboration of some of the world's best to ensure that Ramayana is presented with the greatest amount of Reverence and Respect. Welcome to the Beginning.

For the first time ever, Oscar-winning legends Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman join forces to craft a new cinematic symphony. What is the story of Ramayana? Set in a timeless age, the universe is maintained by the cosmic trinity — Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Protector, and Shiva the Destroyer — who ensure harmony among gods, sages, humans, and demons. However, from the ruins of this balance emerges a force unlike any other. An unlikely demon child transforms into Ravana, the most feared and indestructible king in all creation. His roar shakes the heavens, and his mission is clear: to annihilate Vishnu, the god of protection, whom he believes has always opposed his kind. To counter him, Vishnu descends to Earth in his weakest form — a mortal prince named Rama. Thus begins the eternal battle: Rama vs. Ravana. Mortal vs. Immortal. Light vs. Darkness. This is Ramayana — a tale of cosmic war, timeless destiny, and the triumph of good, still influencing the spirit of a billion people today. Hollywood stalwarts have worked in Ramayana Hollywood's top stunt directors — Terry Notary (Avengers, Planet of the Apes) and Guy Norris (Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa) — are choreographing the epic battles between gods and demons.
