Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming magnum opus, Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has stirred excitement with its promise of a grand mythological spectacle. Known for his impactful storytelling, Tiwari’s adaptation is one of the most ambitious Indian projects, combining stellar talent and cutting-edge visuals.
Originally, fans expected a glimpse of Ramayana on the auspicious occasion of Shri Rama Navami, a traditional day for epic updates. However, the makers surprised audiences by announcing that the first glimpse featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama will instead be unveiled on Hanuman Jayanti, April 2, 2026. This decision left many fans disappointed and sparked confusion across social media platforms.
Produced by Namit Malhotra under Prime Focus Studios and co-produced by DNEG alongside Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, the film boasts a powerhouse cast including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. With music by A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer and a screenplay by Shridhar Raghavan, Ramayana is set to be India’s first film designed for IMAX, slated for a Diwali 2026 release.
Despite the initial letdown, the anticipation is building for the Hanuman Jayanti reveal, promising a spectacular visual treat that will unite fans worldwide. The film’s grand launch and international promotional events have already set high expectations, making Ramayana one of the most awaited cinematic events of the year.
