The wheels are officially in motion for what is unarguably the most ambitious cinematic undertaking in Indian film history. Director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra have officially locked November 6, 2026, as the worldwide release date for Ramayana Part One.
Strategically landing just two days before Laxmi Puja (Diwali 2026), the announcement came paired with a massive global surprise: the release of an English-dubbed trailer tailored specifically for international audiences. Sony Pictures, serving as the international distribution partner for the epic saga, took over social media channels to unveil the visual spectacle.
Sharing the exciting update with fans across the globe, Sony Pictures wrote:
“An epic journey unlike anything seen before. Watch the official trailer for #Ramayana, coming to theatres worldwide November 6.”

Choosing a pre-Diwali window has historically proven to be a masterstroke for tentpole films, and Ramayana Part One is primed to maximize every single advantage of this calendar slot.
- Riding the Festive Wave: Hitting theatres on November 6—which coincides with Dhanteras—places the film right at the absolute threshold of the multi-day Diwali celebrations.
- Extended Weekend Advantage: With main festivities like Laxmi Puja falling on Sunday, November 8, 2026, families traditionally step out for leisure and entertainment during the subsequent holidays. A Friday release allows the film to build monumental word-of-mouth momentum heading straight into the peak holiday week.
- The Global Play: By coordinating an international rollout via Sony Pictures with English-language assets featuring cutting-edge localization, the team is ensuring that the festive Indian holiday window translates into a massive worldwide box office harvest.
The scale of Ramayana is matched only by its phenomenal, heavy-hitting cast. Headlining the project is Ranbir Kapoor, who steps into the divine and righteous role of Lord Rama. Sharing screen space in a fierce opposing dynamic is Rocking Star Yash, who transforms into the formidable antagonist Ravana.
The stellar principal cast features:
- Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita
- Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman
- Ravie Dubey as Lakshman
To execute an adaptation of this magnitude, producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari have assembled an acting powerhouse covering every critical corner of Valmiki’s epic:
- Arun Govil as King Dasharath
- Indira Krishnan as Mata Kaushalya
- Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi
- Sonal Jha as Sumitra
- Seeba Chaddha as Manthara
- Adinath Kothare as Bharat
- Nitish Bharadwaj as Shatrughna
- Shishir Sharma as Vashishtha
- Ajinkya Deo as Vishwamitra
- Mukesh Tiwari as Agastya
- Kunal Kapoor as Lord Indra
- Shobana as Kaikesi
- Vivek Oberoi as Vidyutjihva
- Harish Uthaman as Vibhishana
- Faisal Malik as Kumbhakaran
- Saurabh Sachdeva as Mareech
- Kanchan as Tadaka
- Parminder as Subahu
The newly released English trailer has given fans a deeper look into the meticulous world-building, VFX milestones, and grand scale crafted for international audiences. The preview opens with Yash’s imposing portrayal of Ravana declaring his dominance across the realms, setting the stage for Lord Vishnu’s earthly avatar to restore cosmic balance.
As pre-production transitions into the final leg of post-production and global marketing campaigns fire up, Ramayana Part One stands as a monumental cultural event. With a divine collision of supreme star power, visionary direction, and a golden festive release date, November 6, 2026, cannot come soon enough for cinema lovers worldwide.
