The team will engage in a chat titled 'Har Yug Mein Rama' with 18,000 students across India, addressing questions about the ideals of Rama and the ambition behind the project; this session will stream on JioHotstar starting November 1. The film, which has a staggering budget of Rs 4,000 crore (approximately $500 million for both parts combined), is set to be released in two parts: the first installment on November 5, 2026, ahead of Diwali, and the second part scheduled for Diwali 2027. Prior to this, on October 27, the makers hosted a special screening at the David Geffen Theater inside the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California, attended by Namit Malhotra, Nitesh Tiwari, his wife Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi. Producer Namit Malhotra stated that while the scale was initially met with skepticism, the team aims to make the largest film in the world for the epic 'Ramayana' efficiently and responsibly.76:T400,The film 'Ramayana', directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios alongside DNEG and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, is gearing up for a massive global release on November 5, 2026. The two-part cinematic adaptation of the Indian epic, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, is scheduled to screen across 50,000 screens in over 100 countries. Sony Pictures will manage international distribution outside India, while Dharma Productions handles the Hindi-speaking market. The film, released in five Indian languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannalam, and Malayalam) with an IMAX option, has generated significant anticipation following a reported premiere in Los Angeles. Early audience reactions have praised the visual effects and performances, with a reported opening-day box office target of Rs 200 crore worldwide, though this figure remains an estimate dependent on market performance and word of mouth.77:T4ee,Following the October 27, 2026 Los Angeles premiere of 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend', first reactions collected by ComingSoon reveal a split between praise for the film's spectacle and reservations regarding its storytelling and music. While an unnamed attendee compared the experience to 'the very first Lord of the Rings movie', specific critics offered detailed feedback. Entertainment journalist Rama (posting as Rama's Screen) praised the visuals, dances, and action, calling Ranbir Kapoor 'sublime' and Yash 'magnetic', while reviewer Theresa Simoni noted Kapoor's performance as Prince Rama moved her to tears. Conversely, Venky Reviews found the lengthy action sequences made the second half drag, arguing that spectacle took precedence over drama. Venky also criticized the score by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer, stating the 'Indian-Hollywood blend largely backfires and ends up feeling like neither'. The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Yash as Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Pallavi urged audiences to recognize Ravana within themselves during the premiere. The film is scheduled for worldwide release on November 5, 2026, with Sony Pictures handling international distribution and Dharma Productions distributing in India.78:T62f,Arun Govil, who famously portrayed Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's 1987 television serial 'Ramayana', is set to play King Dashrath in the upcoming 2026 film 'Ramayana' starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, scheduled for a worldwide release on November 5. The 39-year journey from the 1987 serial to the 2026 film marks a 'full circle' moment for Govil, connecting the ₹4,000-crore franchise. According to a source speaking to India TV, Govil was cast as Dashrath not merely for nostalgia but because his association with the character creates an 'instant emotional connect' and offers an 'organic' return to the story as Ram's father. Originally, Govil was rejected for the role of Ram by Ramanand Sagar in the 1970s, with Sagar's sons offering him roles as Bharat or Lakshman instead; he insisted on Ram, was rejected again, but was later offered the role. Post-1987, Govil's career stalled as producers felt his image as Ram was too strong for other roles, a sentiment he confirmed in a 2012 interview with The Times of India where he stated, 'For the last 14 years, I have not done anything, except maybe make a few special appearances.' In a BTS promotional video, Govil praised Ranbir Kapoor as the closest young star to playing Ram, noting, 'What I had imagined—that Ram would walk like this, sit like this, look like this and speak like this—I can see all those qualities in him.' Govil attributes his journey to a mix of 'karma and destiny,' reflecting on the public adulation he received over three decades, including fans touching his feet and weeping upon seeing him.79:T434,Director Siddharth P Malhotra told NDTV that while working with Ranbir Kapoor is 'a dream,' he must 'earn' the actor's choice because Ranbir and Alia Bhatt are 'the best actors in the country' and 'a needle in a haystack' to select. Malhotra, who is related to the Kapoor family through his grandfather Prem Nath (brother-in-law to Raj Kapoor), stated he is not particularly close to Ranbir or Kareena Kapoor compared to the previous generation. When asked about the upcoming film 'Ramayana: Part 1,' Malhotra revealed he is 'dying' to watch it, primarily for his protégé Ravi Dubey, whom he launched in 'Yahan Ke Hum Sikandar' and who plays Lakshman, rather than for Ranbir, who plays Rama. The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, reportedly has a combined budget of Rs 4,000 crore (approximately $500 million) for two parts. Producer Namit Malhotra stated the project aims to be 'the largest film in the world' and will be released in two parts: the first installment is scheduled for Diwali 2026, and the second part is slated for Diwali 2027.7a:T4c0,Filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari shared an emotional tribute on Instagram following the Los Angeles premiere of 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend', directed by her husband Nitesh Tiwari. The special screening took place on October 27, 2026, at the David Geffen Theater inside the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California, days before the film's global theatrical release on November 5, 2026. In her post, Ashwiny reflected on the 'years of sacrifices' and 'silence' required to bring the project to fruition, stating, 'It's Karma. It's Belief. It's egoless. It's patience. It's two parallel lives. It's years of sacrifices.' The event was attended by the film's key cast and crew, including actors Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, as well as producer Namit Malhotra. The film, which stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana, is being produced by Prime Focus Studios, DNEG, and Yash's Monster Mind Creations. Namit Malhotra has previously estimated the combined budget for the two-part project at approximately $500 million (over Rs 4,000 crore). While Part 1 is set for release on November 5, 2026, the second chapter is currently scheduled for a Diwali 2027 release.7b:T407,Filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari shared an emotional post on Instagram following the Los Angeles premiere of 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend', directed by her husband Nitesh Tiwari.

In her post, Ashwiny shared photos of herself and Nitesh alongside cast members Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, as well as a throwback image of the couple from their younger years. She described the film's creation as a journey of 'magic', 'patience', and 'sacrifice', emphasizing the importance of collaboration and staying connected to Indian roots on a world stage. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.

Host Amitabh Bachchan asked the cast about their experiences portraying the epic's central figures. Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Ram, stated that his initial reaction to the role was 'fear' due to the 'faith of crores of people' linked to the character, but this soon turned into 'gratitude' as he became a father around the time the role was offered. Kapoor remarked that while becoming like Lord Ram is impossible, learning from him is significant. Sai Pallavi, cast as Sita, revealed she prayed to 'Sita Maa' before the role, noting it was the first time she focused on what she could gain rather than what she could give. Rave Dubey, playing Lakshman, attributed landing the role to 'divine intervention' and expressed disbelief at the opportunity. The film also stars Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha, with music by Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman.
