This is not the first time Alia has publicly expressed excitement about the film. In April 2026, ahead of the release of the first look featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, she encouraged fans to support the project during a Zoom interaction.
"Ramayana unit is going to be out tomorrow. It is the unit called the Rama unit. I'm going to be posting it on my social media, so again, please go out there and support it," she had said.
She also praised Ranbir's performance, saying, "It's absolutely fabulous. I think Ranbir has just done such a beautiful job and I just can't wait for you guys to see it. It's just out of this world."
The newly released trailer opens with Yash as Ravana, introducing the powerful ruler before shifting to Lord Vishnu's incarnation as Lord Rama, played by Ranbir Kapoor. Arun Govil appears as King Dashrath, presenting Rama, who vows to protect humanity even at the cost of his own life.
The trailer revisits several key moments from the epic, including the wedding of Rama and Sita, their 14-year exile, and Sita's abduction. One of the standout scenes features Lord Rama declaring, “If Ravana is the king of three worlds, then he will have to face his death in the three worlds.”
Ramayana: Part One stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Ravi Dubey, Vivek Oberoi, Saurabh Sachdeva, Lara Dutta, and Rakul Preet Singh. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 8, 2026, during Diwali, with the second installment set to arrive in 2027.
