Ranbir Kapoor, Yash's Ramayana first look out now

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash will be seen locking horns in Namit Malhotra and Nitesh Tiwari's mythological saga, Ramayana Part 1 and 2. While the Bollywood actor will be seen in the role of Lord Rama, the Kannada superstar will be seen playing Ravana on screen. The film, which is being made in two parts, will be released next year. However, the makers have shared a 3-minute first look video of the film, which looks nothing less than a cinematic spectacle. The background score by AR Rahman and cinematography by the Academy Award winner are enough to keep audiences hooked to the film, even till next year. 

Set 5,000 years ago and revered by 2.5 billion people around the world, Ramayana is being filmed for IMAX. According to the makers, 'Set in a timeless age, the universe is held in balance by the cosmic trinity,



Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Protector, and Shiva the Destroyer, who preserve harmony among gods, sages, humans, and demons. But from the ashes of this balance rises a force unlike any before. An unlikely demon child transforms into Ravana, the most feared and indestructible king in all creation. His roar shakes the heavens, and his purpose is clear: to destroy Vishnu, the god of protection, whom he believes has always stood against his kind. To stop him, Vishnu descends to Earth in his weakest form, as a mortal prince named Rama.'

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and 8-time Oscar-winning VFX studio DNEG in association with Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is being filmed for IMAX and will release worldwide: Part 1 in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.
