Mumbai: Ranbir Kapoor, along with filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra, recently travelled to Los Angeles to unveil the first glimpse of ‘Ramayana’ at an exclusive screening for an international audience.
The teaser has sparked quite a buzz online, with viewers praising its grand scale and Ranbir’s divine look as Lord Rama.
After catching the first glimpse, several attendees took to social media to share their reactions.
“2 seconds of Ranbir Kapoor as Bhagwan Ram and the theatre reaction was epic,” wrote a social media user.
Another mentioned, “Really looking forward to this one. #Ramayana.”
“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,” expressed one person.
“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,” another person shared.
“The teaser focused on Ram, Sita, Lakshman & a little bit of Ravana. Excited for the movie,” wrote one netizen.
Another user said, “We are getting glimpse of Ravana.”
“Honoured to witness the first glimpse of the new teaser “Rama” from #Ramayana in Los Angeles this morning, in the presence of #RanbirKapoor himself and the visionaries behind this epic @iamnamitmalhotra and @niteshtiwari22. 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!” expressed one person.
“Audience went silent at the scale, music, and #Ranbir’s Rama entry on the boat – pure goosebumps moment,” stated one user.
Another wrote, “Absolutely stunning visuals — that silhouette shot is pure cinema.”
The highly-anticipated film also features Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman.
‘Ramayana’ will be released in two parts — first one will hit the screens worldwide in October 2026, and the second instalment in 2027.
