Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama: A Closer Look
One social media user wrote, “There was one moment that truly stayed with me-when Ram is sitting in a boat, his name is called, and he slowly turns. For someone who rarely gets emotional… that moment hit deep. It felt like home. The sound, the frequency, the emotion in that single word-it resonated in a way I can’t fully explain. Tears fell down my cheek-whether from joy or a sense of belonging, I just felt it.”
“Had the honor of watching a preview of the trailer for Ramayana-releasing April 2, 2026-in Burbank, and I’m still feeling it. What Namit Malhotra is creating, with Nitesh Tiwari bringing this epic to life, is nothing short of breathtaking. The scale, the vision, the energy… all of it felt powerful,” read one post.

They’re not just retelling a story – they’re building an entire world where mythology feels lived, immersive, and larger than anything we’ve seen before – a world rooted in faith, scale, and emotion, brought to life with a kind of detail that pulls you in completely. We all are not ready for this!”
