The makers have also unveiled the first poster of the movie

The much-awaited two-part film Ramayana by Nitesh Tiwari, starring Ranbir Kapoor, has finally received confirmed release dates. While part one is scheduled for Diwali 2026, part two is scheduled for Diwali 2027, promising a great cinematic spectacle for the festival seasons. The makers recently posted the first poster on social media, which has sparked a lot of excitement among fans worldwide.

Producer Namit Malhotra, who shared the poster on Instagram, spoke of his commitment to the project, saying, “More than a decade ago, I embarked on a noble quest to bring this epic that has ruled billions of hearts for over 5000 years to the big screen. And today, I am thrilled to see it taking shape beautifully as our teams work tirelessly with only one purpose: to present the most authentic, sacred, and visually stunning adaptation of our history, our truth, and our culture—our ‘RAMAYANA’—for people across the world.” He invited audiences to “join us as we fulfil our dream of bringing our greatest epic to life with pride and reverence… Part 1 in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.”

Ranbir Kapoor, who essays the role of Lord Ram in "Ramayana: Part One," has completed most of his work. Ranbir Kapoor had spent quality time developing the character. He worked very closely with the directors and producers of the film. According to a source, this commitment coupled with the team's professionalism has enabled the production to finish filming ahead of schedule. Actor Yash, who has given a blockbuster film "KGF", will play Ravan. He will most probably start shooting for his portions by December 2024 after he wraps up his part in his current release "Toxic", which will go on the floor under Geethu Mohandas's direction.

The dream venture ropes in a sterling ensemble cast in the image of Sunny Deol, Kunal Kapoor, and Sai Pallavi. Produced by DNEG, the film house that has been known for pushing the envelope in special effects and animation within the Indian film industry, Ramayana shall not fail to raise a pulse with Oscar-winning composers A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer composing the music and background score for the film.

It brings one of the most venerated epics from India into the global public domain, promising Ramayana as a film of visual and cultural significance. And audiences are now waiting with bated breath for what could turn out to be one of the greatest films in Indian cinema.
