On 3 July 2025, the makers of Nitesh Tiwari's two-part Ramayana unveiled the film's first glimpse at an event in Mumbai. The video was also shown in cinemas in several cities. It was the first official look at one of the most expensive productions in Indian cinema.
The glimpse introduced the main cast: Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and the Kannada star Yash as Ravana. Yash is also a co-producer through his company Monster Mind Creations. The film is produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus, working with the visual-effects studio DNEG. Reports also named Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and the music was reported to be a collaboration between Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman.
The glimpse mattered because it set out the scale of a retelling of the ancient Hindu epic, which the makers planned in two parts with releases timed for Diwali, the festival of lights, in 2026 and 2027. It also drew debate online over casting and the film's visual style, and it set the tone for the long publicity campaign that followed.
