Sharing the English trailer, the makers wrote,''An epic journey unlike anything seen before. Watch the official trailer for #Ramayana, coming to theatres worldwide November 6.''

A week after the release of the Hindi trailer, the makers have dropped the English version of the film. While the differences between both trailers are not highlighted much, this one is 3 minutes and 54 seconds long, 5 seconds shorter than its Hindi version. However, instead of using an international voiceover, the makers got the cast to dub the film themselves. Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi, among others, have lent their voices.

Similar to the Hindi counterpart, the trailer begins with Ravan stepping into Lanka and declaring himself the new king. We then see the birth of Lord Ram, his journey, marriage to Sita, 14 years of exile, and other mythological events.

The trailer was first showcased at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) in July in the presence of producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari, Ranbir Kapoor and Yash. On July 18, the makers unveiled the Hindi trailer to Indian media at a special event at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
