In a significant update for one of Indian cinema’s most awaited epics, the team behind Ramayana is preparing for its second official reveal. Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari are all set to unveil a special asset on April 2, timing the launch with the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti.
This reveal will mark the first time audiences will see the film’s star-studded cast in their respective characters and on-screen avatars. Leading the ensemble, Ranbir Kapoor will portray Lord Ram, while Yash takes on the powerful role of Ravana. Sai Pallavi will be seen as Sita, alongside Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol stepping into the role of Hanuman. The asset is expected to present the entire cast in their respective looks, offering a first glimpse into the film’s interpretation of these iconic characters.
According to sources, the highlight of the announcement video will primarily focus on the looks of Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, Sunny Deol, and Yash. The visual presentation aims to give audiences a sense of the emotional and character-driven approach the makers have chosen for this epic retelling.
A source close to the project shared, “This asset is meant to introduce the world of Ramayana through its characters. It’s more personal and rooted in how each role has been envisioned. The scale and action will be explored in a separate asset, which will arrive in a couple of months.” Apart from the main cast, the makers will also reveal the looks of the extended ensemble, including actors like Rakul Preet Singh, Lara Dutta, Vivek Oberoi, Arun Govil, and Kunal Kapoor, among others.
Interestingly, this launch marks the start of an extensive seven-month promotional campaign. The makers are planning to roll out multiple assets at regular intervals to build anticipation around the film’s narrative and visual spectacle.
While the April 2 reveal focuses on character introductions, another video is expected in the coming months that will highlight the film’s scale, action, and more. Ramayana is the first installment of a planned two-part film series, with music composed by globally renowned composers Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman.
The film is slated to release in theatres on Diwali 2026.
