Indian cinema has always been deeply inspired by the timeless epic Ramayana, and now acclaimed director Nitesh Tiwari is set to bring this legendary tale back to life with a grand two-part film. Featuring an impressive star cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, the film was officially introduced to the public today along with its much-anticipated release dates.
While the makers are keeping the detailed looks of the actors under wraps, it has been confirmed that Ranbir Kapoor will portray Lord Sriram, Sai Pallavi will play the role of Sita, and Yash will step into the shoes of the mighty Ravana. The first glimpse released offers audiences a tantalizing view, showcasing Ranbir’s side profile as Ram alongside a partially revealed face of Yash as Ravana.
The teaser sets an epic tone by portraying the divine battle where gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva confront a fearsome demon, paving the way for Lord Ram’s arrival to restore righteousness and balance. Although the story is familiar to many, the filmmakers promise a fresh and captivating retelling designed to connect with today’s generation.
A second factor that adds to the film’s epic-ness is the musical collaboration between legendary composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, and the film’s VFX team will be noted for their expertise — at the world’s top tier level of VFX studios, they are committed to providing a cinematic aesthetic that will look stunning. The film is also being made specifically for IMAX formats! The film also boasts a very rich cast including Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana.
Ramayana is being produced by Namit Malhotra, and the film will be released in two parts, with the first for Diwali 2026, and the second part for Diwali 2027. All in all, the film appears to be presenting a historical landmark in India cinema — blending mythology, technology, and A-list energy to attract audiences from all over the country.
