Ramayana trailer set for July 30 Brahma Muhurat
Entities: Sony Pictures Entertainment · Ramayana (film) · Ranbir Kapoor · Yash (actor) · Sai Pallavi
Overview
Producer Namit Malhotra confirmed on Instagram that the worldwide trailer for the mythological epic *Ramayana* will debut on Thursday, 30 July 2026 at 4:15 AM IST, timed to the auspicious Brahma Muhurat—about 96 minutes before sunrise. The launch was moved from an originally planned 24 July slot, a shift linked to student protests and the finalisation of an international distribution partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, with an ensemble that includes Lara Dutta, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi and others. Yash has spoken about preparing for Ravana by chanting Shiva devotional verses at high volume on set.
Sony will handle overseas distribution, extending reach beyond India. The two‑part saga’s first half is slated for a theatrical release in November 2026 (Diwali season), with Part 2 aimed at Diwali 2027. Combined production costs are estimated at ₹3,000–4,000 crore, with a ₹375 crore promotional budget. Visual‑effects work continues at DNEG and Prime Focus, and the climax of the Rama‑Ravana clash remains pending. The score will feature Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, while social‑media buzz includes the “pookie girl dads” coloring challenge.
