News Mania Desk/ Piyal Chatterjee/ 30th July 2026



The much-awaited trailer of Ramayana has set social media abuzz, with audiences reacting strongly to the first glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Yash as the formidable Ravana. The ambitious mythological epic, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has generated considerable curiosity because of its scale, star cast and high-end visual effects.
The trailer introduces Kapoor in the role of Lord Ram, portraying the central character with a restrained and dignified presence. Yash, meanwhile, appears as Ravana, offering a powerful interpretation of the legendary antagonist. Their eventual confrontation has emerged as one of the most discussed moments from the trailer, with viewers describing the clash between the two stars as the point where the film’s epic narrative truly begins. Social media platforms were flooded with reactions soon after the trailer was released. Fans praised the film’s visual presentation and the effort put into bringing the ancient story to a large cinematic canvas.
The trailer provides glimpses of several important characters and events from the Ramayana, while keeping some major elements of the story under wraps. One notable talking point among viewers was the absence of a prominent appearance by Sunny Deol, who plays Hanuman, with fans waiting to see more of his portrayal in future promotional material. Ramayana has been positioned as a large-scale cinematic adaptation of one of India’s most revered epics.
For Kapoor, the role marks a major departure from the contemporary characters that have defined much of his career. His portrayal of Lord Ram is consequently being closely watched by audiences. Yash’s Ravana, meanwhile, has generated equal interest, particularly because of the actor’s popularity following his success in major pan-Indian films. The trailer’s response indicates that Ramayana has already become one of the most anticipated Indian films. With Ranbir Kapoor and Yash positioned on opposite sides of the epic conflict, expectations are now high for the film’s eventual theatrical release.
