Ahead of the film’s release, the makers of Ramayana have launched a first-of-its-kind nationwide school outreach campaign to introduce young audience to the epic beyond the big screen.
Launched on July 9, the initiative will cover over 400 schools across 18 cities and is expected to engage more than five lakh students.
Under the theme ‘Hamara Satya. Hamara Itihaas,’ children will take part in drawing competitions, quizzes, creative activities, and interactive sessions, encouraging them and their families to reconnect with the timeless stories and values of the Ramayana.
Talking about the initiative, the makers said, “Ramayana has lived on for generations through stories, values and shared memory. With this school outreach initiative, our endeavour is to take that legacy to young minds in an engaging and meaningful way. As we build towards bringing Ramayana to the big screen, we wanted children to experience the epic not just as mythology they have heard of, but as a story of courage, duty, love and righteousness that continues to inspire even today.”
‘Ramayana’ will be released in two parts — the first instalment hitting theatres during Diwali 2026, and the second one slated to be released on Diwali 2027.
