Ramayana Trailer Sparks Buzz as Ranbir Kapoor’s Scene Shows VFX Upgrade

The much‑anticipated trailer of Ramayana: Part One has reignited excitement among fans, particularly for Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Ram.

Viewers quickly noticed that his scene has undergone a significant visual upgrade compared to the teaser.

The refined lighting, reduced glare, cleaner dust effects, and subtle glow have made the frame appear more polished and cinematic.

A viral side‑by‑side comparison circulating on social media highlighted these changes, with some fans even suggesting Kapoor appears taller in the updated shot.

Industry observers, however, cautioned against judging final VFX solely on trailers, noting that Hollywood blockbusters often refine visuals until release.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is one of India’s most ambitious projects, reportedly mounted on a Rs 4,000 crore budget.

The ensemble cast includes Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman.

Supporting roles feature Ravi Dubey, Vivek Oberoi, Saurabh Sachdeva, and Rakul Preet Singh.

The film is slated for a Diwali 2026 release, with Part Two expected in 2027. Sony Pictures will oversee global distribution, while Dharma Productions manages North India.

While the trailer has been praised for its scale and Yash’s commanding presence, reactions to Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal remain mixed, ensuring the film stays at the centre of debate and anticipation.
