Nitesh Tiwari’s “Ramayana” has moved from trailer anticipation to poster roll-out. The new character reveals bring the core trio together in one frame and hand Yash a separate, larger-than-life moment as Ravana.
What the new posters show
Ranbir Kapoor appears as Lord Ram with a bow in his hands. Ravie Dubey is Lakshman, also carrying a bow. Sai Pallavi is Sita, and the source describes her presence as calm and graceful. The three are shown in traditional saffron attire in the vanvaas phase, with the makers’ caption reading, “Together Always, in Dharma.”
Yash’s solo reveal is built for scale. He appears as Ravana in elaborate traditional attire, and his intense expression gives the character a strong screen presence, matching what was seen in the trailer. The makers’ line for this poster is, “The ruler of all 3 worlds, Ravana.”
The ensemble around the leads
Part 1 is not only a four-actor showcase. The film’s wider cast includes:
- Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari
- Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha
- Sheeba Chaddha as Manthara
- Kunal Kapoor as Indra
- Sunny Deol as Hanuman
- Arun Govil as Dashrath
- Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi
Why this matters for moviegoers
The posters are part of a campaign that must sustain interest across two instalments. “Ramayana: Part 1” releases internationally on November 6, 2026, and in India for Diwali on November 8. The second part is planned for Diwali 2027. That gives fans a clear two-year arc, but it also means the marketing has to make each reveal feel distinct without giving away the full story.
The early social response is already energetic. One fan comment in the source predicts a “First day 400 Crore + Confirm.” That is excitement talk, not reported box office, but it shows the scale of expectation around a religious epic with this cast.
What to watch next
The sensible fan moves are easy: save the Diwali 2026 date, watch how the campaign balances the restrained forest-exile imagery with Yash’s grand antagonist reveal, and expect a steady line of character drops between now and release.
