'Ramayana': Ranbir Kapoor spotted with Nitesh Tiwari, Namit Malhotra ahead of first glimpse release

Ranbir Kapoor discusses playing Lord Ram ahead of the first look release for the epic film 'Ramayana', directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

"Lord Ram has been the conscience keeper of billions of people around the globe for centuries. - Ranbir Kapoor"

Mumbai, April 2

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is back in Mumbai after his recent trip to Los Angeles, seems to have returned to work mode, as he is all set to begin promotions for his upcoming film Ramayana.

Just a day before the release of the first glimpse of Rama from Ramayana, Ranbir was seen in Bandra along with director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra.

He kept his look simple and casual in a denim jacket, track pants, and a white T-shirt.

Earlier this week, Ranbir, along with the film's team, launched a crucial asset of the film at an event in Los Angeles. During the event, the actor spoke about playing the role of Lord Ram and what the character means to people.

Describing Lord Ram as the "conscience keeper of billions of people," Ranbir said, "Lord Ram has been the conscience keeper of billions of people around the globe for centuries. He enlightens us about the triumph of the human spirit. He stands for compassion, courage, righteousness, and forgiveness, and is called Maryada Purushottam, which represents the ideal man."

Titled Rama, the new glimpse reportedly features Ranbir's look as Lord Ram. In India, this asset will be launched on April 2, coinciding with Hanuman Jayanti.

With Ranbir Kapoor stepping into the role of Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as the formidable Ravana, Sunny Deol as the mighty Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Ramayana is one of the most awaited films of 2026.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios in association with the eight-time Oscar-winning DNEG and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, the two-part epic is slated for a worldwide IMAX release, with Part 1 arriving in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.

The pressure on Ranbir is immense. Playing Lord Ram is not just another role, it's representing our faith and culture. I hope the team handles the story with the utmost respect and doesn't take creative liberties that hurt sentiments.

Sunny Deol as Hanuman is casting genius! After Gadar 2, he has that massive, powerful presence. And Yash as Ravana? Wow. This is going to be a visual spectacle. Diwali 2026 can't come soon enough.

As someone who grew up outside India, I'm really looking forward to seeing this epic on the big screen with modern VFX. It's a great way to connect with the culture. Hoping it does justice to the original story.

Respectfully, I have my doubts. Making it a two-part IMAX film feels very commercial. Ramayana is about devotion and values, not just scale. Hope the soul of the epic isn't lost in the pursuit of a blockbuster.

The team looks serious. Launching assets in LA, getting DNEG for VFX... they are treating it like a global project. This could put Indian cinema on the world map in a big way. Fingers crossed! 🤞
