As the global countdown intensifies for the theatrical arrival of Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological magnum opus Ramayana: Rise of a Legend on November 5, 2026, exciting news from its exclusive premiere has set the internet ablaze. While promotional trailers and teasers deliberately kept Sunny Deol’s portrayal of Lord Hanuman under wraps, confirmed reports from its premiere in Los Angeles reveal that audiences will indeed catch their first glimpse of the action icon in an electrifying post-credit sequence.
The exclusive screening in LA—attended by lead actors Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash alongside director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra—triggered immediate buzz online after early viewers confirmed the high-octane tease.
LA Premiere Confirms Post-Credit Scene and 2028 Sequel
Speculation turned into certainty when Los Angeles-based film critic Rama’s Screen attended the premiere hosted by the makers and broke the news on platform X. Addressing the audience’s growing curiosity, the critic posted:
“Yes, Ramayana Rise of a Legend has a post-credit scene. And the post-credit scene teases that one iconic character that you’ve all been anticipating. You know who I’m talkin’ about. Can’t wait for the sequel in 2028.”

Multiple attendees at the screening verified that the post-credit sting formally introduces Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, serving as a narrative bridge into the second installment, which is officially targeting a 2028 worldwide theatrical release.
How Narrative Structure Sets Up Hanuman’s Entrance
Insiders close to the production explain that the division between Part 1 and Part 2 follows a faithful structural arc of the ancient epic:
- Part 1 Focus: Ramayana: Rise of a Legend concentrates on Lord Ram’s early life, his marriage to Sita, his exile into the forest, and the tragic sequence of Sita Haran (the abduction of Sita by Ravana).
- The Cliffhanger: The first film concludes with Lord Ram and Lakshman embarking on their desperate search for Sita.
- The Post-Credit Hook: As Lord Ram reaches Kishkindha, the post-credit scene unveils Sunny Deol’s Lord Hanuman offering his devotion and alliance, setting up his prominent full-length heroic presence for Part 2.
Stellar Ensemble Cast and Global Production Scale
Conceived as one of the most expensive cinematic endeavours in Indian history with a reported two-part budget exceeding ₹4,000 crore, the production brings together top talent across the nation:
- The Lead Trio: Ranbir Kapoor stars as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi essays the role of Goddess Sita, and Kannada superstar Yash plays the formidable demon king Ravana.
- Supporting Cast: Sunny Deol leads as Lord Hanuman, accompanied by Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Arun Govil as King Dasharatha, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Rakul Preet Singh as Shurpanakha, Kunal Kapoor as Indra, and Sheeba Chaddha as Manthara.
- Behind the Camera: The film is directed by National Award-winner Nitesh Tiwari (Dangal, Chhichhore). It is co-produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and DNEG alongside Yash’s Monster Mind Creations.
- Musical Scoring: The musical score is jointly composed by Oscar-winning legends A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, ensuring an unmatched global sonic landscape when the film hits theatres on November 5.
