Mumbai | Tuesday, March 31, 2026 — The global cinematic landscape witnessed a historic moment as director Nitesh Tiwari and superstar Ranbir Kapoor unveiled the first exclusive glimpse of their magnum opus, Ramayana, at a prestigious IMAX theater in Los Angeles. The preview, attended by Hollywood industry veterans and international media, has triggered a wave of “Ram-mania” across social media.
🎥 The ‘Rama’ Glimpse: A 2:38 Minute Visual Spectacle
The teaser, officially titled ‘Rama’, clocks in at 2 minutes and 38 seconds and has been granted a ‘U’ (Universal) certificate by the CBFC. Eyewitnesses at the LA screening described a particular scene—where Ranbir Kapoor, portraying Lord Ram, turns slowly while seated in a boat—as a “soul-stirring” moment that left many in tears.
Producer Namit Malhotra (CEO of DNEG) and Nitesh Tiwari joined Ranbir on stage, where the actor famously greeted the crowd with a resonant “Jai Siya Ram.”
🙏 “Conscience Keeper of Billions” – Ranbir Kapoor
Speaking at the event, a visibly moved Ranbir Kapoor shared his deep connection with the character:
“Lord Ram has been the ‘Conscience Keeper’ for billions for centuries. He is the ultimate symbol of compassion and Dharma. For me, this isn’t just a film; it’s a spiritual responsibility to represent the Maryada Purushottam (the ideal man) for a global generation.”
🚀 Key Highlights & Release Roadmap
The film is being positioned as India’s answer to global epics like Dune, backed by a rumored budget of nearly $500 million.
