The image sets the tone for the high-stakes conflict between Lord Ram and Ravana, alluding to the powerful and dramatic moments to come in the film.
Malhotra’s message accompanying the poster reads:
“More than a decade ago, I embarked on a noble quest to bring this epic that has ruled billions of hearts for over 5000 years to the big screen. And today, I am thrilled to see it taking shape beautifully as our teams work tirelessly with only one purpose: to present the most authentic, sacred, and visually stunning adaptation of our history, our truth, and our culture – our RAMAYANA – for people across the world.”
He continued, inviting audiences to join in this monumental journey:
“Join us as we fulfill our dream of bringing our greatest epic to life with pride and reverence… Part 1 in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027. From our entire Ramayana Family.”
