Ramayana will get its first international unveiling at San Diego Comic-Con on July 23, reportedly becoming only the second Indian film to land a major showcase at the event, after Kalki 2898 AD. The panel is set for 3:15 pm local time (3:15 am IST) in Ballroom 20- a 4,800-seat venue that ranks second only to Comic-Con’s iconic Hall H in scale and prestige.Director Nitesh Tiwari, producer Namit Malhotra, and lead actors Ranbir Kapoor and Yash will present the film to a global audience. Malhotra, founder of Prime Focus, also serves as global CEO of DNEG, the visual effects company behind some of the world’s biggest film spectacles.Before the US leg, the film returns to Indian soil for its first big reveal. The trailer is set to launch at a grand event in Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam on July 18, five days ahead of the Comic-Con showcase, with the same core team expected to attend.Kapoor plays Lord Rama, and Yash takes on Ravana, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, Jattvibeny Deol plays Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey plays Lakshman. The cast also includes Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha, Kunal Kapoor as Lord Indra, and appearances from Lara Dutta, Sheeba Chaddha, Arun Govil and Adinath Kothare.Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 4,000 crore, Ramayana is being called the biggest production Indian cinema has attempted. It’s structured as a two-part saga: Part 1 releases this Diwali 2026, with Part 2 following in Diwali 2027.Reports suggest composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman, both working on the film’s score, may perform live at international events tied to the release- plans the makers have yet to officially confirm.With Delhi setting the stage on July 18 and San Diego following five days later, the rollout signals a clear intent: position Ramayana not as a regional blockbuster, but as a global cinematic event.
