The teaser for Ramayana is finally here—and it’s already stirring up serious talk. With Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravan, and Sai Pallavi as Sita, this isn’t just another mythological retelling. It’s a ₹835 crore gamble between faith and film, emotion and epic scale.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the first teaser doesn’t show much actual footage. But what it does show? A powerful mix of VFX, music, and ambition. It opens with a stunning intro of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, and sets the stage for the ultimate war—Ram vs Ravan.
The visuals are grand, but the tone feels serious. The teaser ends with brief glimpses of Ranbir and Yash, and it’s enough to create massive buzz. The score by Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman only adds to the hype. But many fans noticed the opening credits looked a lot like Game of Thrones. Coincidence or inspiration? That’s up for debate.

A War of Icons
Ranbir Kapoor steps into the role of Ram for the first time. It’s a big shift from his recent roles. And this time, there’s no room for error. Audiences still remember Prabhas in Adipurush, a film that failed to connect emotionally despite its scale.
Sai Pallavi as Sita could be a game-changer. Known for her raw performances in South Indian cinema, this might be her big entry into mainstream Hindi films.
Then there’s Yash—the KGF superstar. But here, he plays Ravan, and he seems excited about it. In an interview, he called Ravan “the most exciting character” and said he wouldn’t have joined the project to play anyone else. That says a lot.
India’s Most Expensive Film
According to Bollywood Hungama, Ramayana is being made at ₹835 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film to date. It beats Kalki 2898 AD and even Adipurush.
The cast also includes Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, and Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, and Arun Govil in key roles.
The film will release in two parts—Part 1 in Diwali 2026, and Part 2 in Diwali 2027. That’s a long wait, but fans are already counting down.
Final Thought: Belief vs Business
At the heart of Ramayana is more than just gods and demons. It’s a fight between what’s sacred and what sells. When you take a story like this—one rooted in culture, emotion, and identity—and dress it in VFX and global polish, the question becomes: Are we honoring our stories, or just selling them better?
Whether this epic wins hearts or just headlines—we’ll find out in 2026. Until then, all eyes on Ayodhya.
