Today marks a pivotal moment in Bollywood as the official logo and teaser for Nitesh Tiwari’s epic adaptation of the Ramayana were unveiled, igniting excitement across the country. The project, long rumored and eagerly anticipated, is finally taking visible shape — and fans are here for it.
The film features a stellar cast. Ranbir Kapoor takes on the role of Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi plays Sita. KGF superstar Yash will portray the fierce Ravana. The supporting cast includes Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, and noted actors like Lara Dutta and Amitabh Bachchan in pivotal roles. With such heavyweight names, expectations are sky-high.
Set to be released in two parts, the Ramayana is being touted as the most expensive Indian film ever, with a reported budget of ₹835 crore (around $96 million). The cinematic scale is ambitious, and the film is designed not just for Indian audiences but for global viewership. A major highlight is the unprecedented collaboration between A. R. Rahman and Hollywood music legend Hans Zimmer for the soundtrack — a fusion that promises a truly universal sonic experience.
The teaser and logo were officially revealed today. The teaser, which was recently screened at Mumbai’s WAVES Summit, features stunning visuals — cosmic frames of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva set the tone, before zooming into the legendary conflict between Rama and Ravana. Early reactions have called it visually rich and emotionally stirring, with social media already buzzing with excitement. Alia Bhatt, among others, commented enthusiastically, calling the glimpse “unforgettable.”
Director Nitesh Tiwari, known for Dangal and Chhichhore, spoke at the teaser launch in Mumbai, expressing how this project has been a dream close to his heart. He described the film as a cultural responsibility and a visual homage to one of India’s most revered texts. Producer Namit Malhotra emphasized the effort to preserve authenticity while pushing creative boundaries, also revealing that AI-enabled multilingual dubbing is being explored to give the film a truly global reach.
With Part I set for release during Diwali 2026, and Part II slated for Diwali 2027, the countdown begins today. The creators plan to roll out trailers, music releases, and behind-the-scenes content over the next year to maintain the momentum. As of now, the teaser has lit the spark — and the fire is only going to grow.
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is shaping up to be a genre-defining cinematic event — rooted in mythology, powered by star performances, and guided by a director with both vision and reverence. With the first official look out today, the journey toward a mythic spectacle has well and truly begun.
