The Ramayana International Trailer is out, offering a fresh glimpse of director Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious adaptation of the Indian epic. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Yash as Ravana, the new trailer places their much-anticipated confrontation at the centre of the film. The visuals showcase large-scale battles, mythical characters and expansive settings, while also introducing Kunal Kapoor as Lord Indra. With Sony Pictures spearheading the international campaign, the film is gearing up for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026. The trailer is also available in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, alongside Hindi and English, extending its reach across Indian markets.
The latest footage offers a closer look at Yash’s Ravana, who emerges as a powerful force threatening the world around him. The trailer contrasts his growing influence with Ranbir Kapoor’s Ram, who is presented as humanity’s hope against the rising darkness. Their opposing journeys form the core of the narrative, with the visuals building towards an eventual clash between the two iconic characters. The action sequences and dramatic confrontations give the trailer a larger scale, while keeping the central conflict firmly in focus.
One of the key highlights is the introduction of Kunal Kapoor as Lord Indra, riding his celestial mount Airavata.

The trailer also features Jatayu’s battle with Ravana, alongside scenes of warriors, mythical creatures and large armies. These moments indicate that the film aims to bring several iconic elements of the epic to the screen through extensive visual effects and elaborate action staging.
The film features Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, alongside Yash and Ranbir Kapoor in the lead roles. The international campaign also puts the film’s technical ambition in focus. A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer have joined forces for the music, while DNEG is handling the visual effects. The production is being positioned as a large-scale cinematic experience designed for IMAX and other premium formats.
Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is planned as the first instalment of a two-part adaptation, with the film scheduled to release worldwide on November 5, 2026.
