Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming mythological epic Ramayana: Part 1 is reportedly eyeing a high-profile screening at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. The producers are currently working to secure the requisite approvals to host the special event for political dignitaries on November 5, which coincides with the film's global theatrical release date. An official confirmation regarding the screening is still pending.
According to industry reports, principal cast members Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi, along with director Nitesh Tiwari, are expected to be present if the screening moves forward. Additionally, the production team is reportedly organizing two major premieres, with one planned in Mumbai at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre and another in the national capital. Final details concerning the events and guest list remain unconfirmed.
The large-scale production features an ensemble cast, with Ranbir Kapoor portraying Lord Ram, Yash as Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita. The lineup also includes Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol as Hanuman, alongside actors such as Rakul Preet Singh, Lara Dutta, Vivek Oberoi, Sheeba Chadha, Arun Govil, and Indira Krishnan.
As promotion for the film ramps up, the makers have released fresh promotional content, including a video highlighting the title and action sequences. The promotional rollout also introduced a new poster featuring the revered bird Jatayu, who is voiced by Anupam Kher. In the narrative, Jatayu plays a pivotal role by attempting to intercept Ravana to rescue Sita.
Structured as a two-part cinematic project, Ramayana: Part 1 is set for a worldwide release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam on November 5, while the second installment is planned for a Diwali 2027 arrival.
