The first official glimpse – or rather, a powerful sneak peek – of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Yash as the formidable Ravana from ‘Ramayana’ is finally out. After years of build-up through announcements, casting confirmations, and production updates, the makers of this magnum opus unveiled the much-awaited teaser on July 3.

The launch was celebrated with multiple screenings across nine Indian cities, along with a major presence at New York’s Times Square – underscoring the project’s global vision. The film delves into the eternal clash between Rama and Ravana, aiming to captivate audiences worldwide with its scale, storytelling, and spectacle.

Set in a mythological era governed by the cosmic trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, the narrative follows Ravana – once an unlikely demon child – who rises to threaten universal balance. To restore harmony, Vishnu descends to Earth as Rama, setting the stage for an epic confrontation.

The film features a stellar cast: Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Together, they form a powerful ensemble drawn from the top ranks of Indian cinema.
