Many people are very excited about it, calling it one of the most anticipated films of 2026.

The team released a special trailer in English, where the actors speak English.

The trailer became very popular, with more than a billion views in just five days.

Some people were confused because the release dates looked different.

In India, it will release on Diwali, which is November 8.

He explained that international movies usually open on Fridays, which is why the dates are two days apart.

Quotes

Producer of Ramayana and head of the production company

“It’s releasing in India on Diwali. So we are releasing internationally on November 6. The international distribution works from a Friday standpoint, so that’s why it’s releasing on November 6. But in India, we are currently targeting the Diwali release.”
