Ramayana Movie Update: The much-awaited Ramayana has offered fans a calm and visually striking first glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Instead of showcasing a large-scale action sequence or dramatic visual spectacle, the latest motion poster focuses on the gentle relationship between the two central characters.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the ambitious mythological epic is being developed as a two-part film franchise. The makers unveiled the new motion poster on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, giving audiences a closer look at the film’s portrayal of Ram and Sita.
Ram and Sita Share a Peaceful Moment in New Motion Poster
The newly released motion poster presents Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi in their respective roles as Ram and Sita.
The scene has been designed around a tranquil forest setting. Ram and Sita are seen sitting together on a moss-covered rock, surrounded by lush greenery, while a quiet river flows nearby. The subdued presentation highlights the emotional connection between the characters rather than relying solely on the film’s massive scale.
The glimpse has generated considerable interest among fans who have been waiting to see how the legendary characters will be brought to the big screen.
Ramayana Part 1 Release Date: November 6, 2026
The motion poster has also confirmed the theatrical release date for the first instalment.
Ramayana: Part 1 is scheduled to arrive in cinemas worldwide on November 6, 2026, placing its release during the Diwali festive period.
The story is planned as a two-part cinematic franchise. Following the first film, the second instalment is expected to reach theatres in October 2027.
The two-film approach gives the filmmakers additional time to build the world of the epic, develop its characters and create the large-scale visual effects required for a project of this magnitude.
Ramayana Cast: Yash as Ravan, Sunny Deol as Hanuman
The film boasts an extensive ensemble cast featuring several prominent names from Indian cinema.
The main cast includes:
- Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram
- Sai Pallavi as Sita
- Yash as Ravan
- Sunny Deol as Hanuman
- Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana
- Arun Govil as King Dasharatha
- Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha
Arun Govil’s casting has attracted particular attention because of his iconic association with Lord Ram from the classic television adaptation of the Ramayan. His portrayal of King Dasharatha adds another interesting connection between the new project and the epic’s earlier screen legacy.
Meanwhile, Yash’s portrayal of Ravan and Sunny Deol’s role as Hanuman are among the casting choices that have generated strong curiosity among moviegoers.
Ramayana’s Huge Budget and Grand Production Scale
The film has been making headlines not only because of its star-studded cast but also because of its reported production scale.
According to reports, the project is being made with an estimated budget of around ₹4,000 crore, potentially placing it among the most expensive Indian film productions ever undertaken.
The massive investment is expected to support elaborate sets, large-scale production design, advanced visual effects and detailed world-building. With the story spanning iconic locations, characters and events from the Ramayana, the filmmakers are aiming for a cinematic experience on an exceptionally large scale.
Why Ramayana Is One of the Most Anticipated Indian Films
With Nitesh Tiwari at the helm and a cast led by Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash and Sunny Deol, Ramayana has become one of the most closely watched upcoming Indian film projects.
The latest motion poster offers a softer introduction to the epic, focusing on the bond between Ram and Sita before audiences eventually see the larger conflicts and spectacle associated with the story.
With Part 1 arriving on November 6, 2026, fans now have a confirmed date to look forward to as the ambitious two-part adaptation moves closer to its theatrical release.
