It features groundbreaking VFX by DNEG and music by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer.

Why Was ‘Ramayana’ Trailer Postponed Hours Before Release?

Initially, the trailer for Ramayana was scheduled for a worldwide release on July 24, 2026. However, just hours before its intended launch, the makers announced an unexpected postponement, leading to widespread speculation and fan disappointment.

Producer Namit Malhotra clarified that the decision to delay the trailer was a strategic move, stemming from a significant international distribution partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment. He explained that the team opted for a coordinated worldwide launch strategy to position 'Ramayana' as a truly global cinematic event.

In a recent note, Malhotra articulated, "My dream of taking Ramayana to the world is now a reality with our partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment. In light of the above, we will be launching our trailer globally at a later date." This collaboration ensures that the epic will have an international theatrical presence comparable to major Hollywood productions, showcasing the richness of Indian culture and storytelling to a global audience. ‘Ramayana’ Actor Ranbir Kapoor Expresses Admiration for Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ and Horror Hit ‘Obsession’ at SDCC 2026 (Watch Video).

Anticipation Reaches Fever Pitch

The postponement, while initially met with mixed reactions, has arguably amplified the anticipation for the Ramayana: Part 1 trailer. The film's team, including Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, director Nitesh Tiwari, and producer Namit Malhotra, had already created a significant buzz by showcasing exclusive footage at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. With Dharma Productions handling the distribution in India, the stage is set for an unparalleled cinematic experience that promises to honour the ancient Indian epic on an unprecedented scale.
