Ranbir Kapoor's first look as Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari's grand two-part film Ramayana is finally out. Over 2 minutes long, the teaser shows Rama, first as an able prince of Ayodha, and later his days in exile.
After days of buzz around the new Ramayana teaser, the makers finally unveiled the first look of Ranbir Kapoor as Rama in a grand teaser trailer launch event. The teaser, which is over 2 minutes long, showcases Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram in a visually stunning set-up. The teaser was unveiled on April 2 to mark the auspicious day of Hanuman Jayanti.
The teaser launch event, which took place in multiple cities in India on Thursday, kick-starts the promotions of what is arguably India’s biggest film ever.
The first look of Rama in Ramayana
The visually stunning teaser gives a glimpse of the world of Ramayana, and highlights Rama's journey as an heir to the kingdom of Ayodhya and later his days in exile.
While the focus of the teaser remains on Ranbir Kapoor, it also gives a very brief glimpse of Sita, played by Sai Pallavi and Laxman, played by Ravie Dubey.

Ramayana Part 1 is set for a Diwali release later this year. However, with makers sharing brief glimpses of the film in a gap of a few months, the anticipation around the film will remain high until its release day.
More about Ramayana
The film also stars Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Yash as Ravan. Yash also serves as a co-producer of the film.
The film is being billed as India’s answer to Lord of the Rings and Avatar and is reportedly made on a whopping budget of Rs ₹4000 crore.
The film generated immense buzz over the last several months since the release of the first look last year. But no character's look had been revealed back then. While BTS photos from the sets had leaked online, the makers chose not to comment on the leaks.
The film has music by AR Rahman and legendary composer Hans Zimmer who makes his Bollywood debut with this film.
The teaser was unveiled to a select audience in Los Angeles last week in the presence of producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari, and actor Ranbir Kapoor.
Director of the film, Nitesh Tiwari said, “Ramayana’s greatness lies in its emotional richness. At its heart, it is not just about good and evil, but about choices, consequences, and the weight of doing what is right. Rama’s journey is deeply human and that is what we have tried to stay true to.
Ranbir Kapoor said he learnt a lot from his character. “I don’t think I’m here to represent Rama. I’m here to learn from him. There is a simplicity and purity to him that is very rare; and trying to understand and imbibe that has been a deeply humbling experience.”
Ramayana is the second big-budget adaptation of Valmiki’s epic in Indian cinema this decade. Earlier in 2023, Om Raut’s Adipurush was also based on the same epic and starred Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in the lead. The film tanked at the box office.
