Earlier, the makers confirmed the April 2 plan with a message framing the Ramayana teaser launch as part of a larger spiritual and cultural responsibility. The drop is designed as more than a regular promo, with the team positioning it as a key step in presenting their interpretation of the cherished text to a wide audience.

"Shubh Rama Navami. This is a story that belongs to all of us, and every step we take has been guided by a deep sense of responsibility, devotion, and care to bring our very own Ramayana to life in its truest spirit and scale with utmost sincerity."

The makers added that the Ramayana teaser event is being treated as a global celebration for fans. The film's initial glimpse had already been revealed through a multi-city India launch, along with a display at Times Square.

"We look forward to sharing the next glimpse, 'Rama,' on April 2, on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, as we begin to showcase all these years of our effort through a grand world reveal with fans, celebrating this moment across the world," he added.

Ramayana is described by the team as a story set roughly 5,000 years ago, still embraced by billions. They present it as an enduring cultural inheritance rather than only a mythological narrative. The upcoming reveal of Rama is billed as a fan-focused event meant to connect audiences across different countries through a shared story.

The cast of Ramayana includes Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, with KGF actor Yash as Ravana. Sunny Deol appears as Hanuman, while Ravi Dubey plays Lakshman.

Ramayana Part I is planned for a theatrical release during Diwali, with the second part dated for Diwali 2027. With the Ramayana teaser Rama landing on April 2 after CBFC clearance, the campaign for Nitesh Tiwari's adaptation now moves into an active phase, setting up a long promotional run for the two-part saga.
