While Ranbir Kapoor won’t be part of this particular segment since it doesn’t depict the legendary Ram-Ravana face-off. However, other key cast members are actively involved alongside Yash in bringing this battle to life.

Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is set to be a two-part cinematic spectacle. The first installment is scheduled to hit theaters on Diwali 2026, followed by its sequel on Diwali 2027.
