Nagarjuna Calls Ramayana Trailer 'Brilliant,' Praises Ranbir and Yash
A big new movie called 'Ramayana' is coming out, and it is based on an old and famous Indian story.
Ranbir Kapoor plays Ram, a good prince, while Yash plays Ravana, the story's powerful villain.

A famous actor named Nagarjuna watched the trailer and said it was brilliant, which means really, really good.
He especially liked how Yash and Ranbir acted in it.

The story shows Ram's adventures, his wedding to Sita, and how Ravana takes Sita away.
Part one of the movie will come out during Diwali this year, and part two will come out in 2027.
