Ramayana movie: Ranbir Kapoor and team makes history at San Diego Comic-Con, trailer release postponed

The makers of Ramayana created history by taking the film to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, one of the world's biggest events for movies and pop culture. Director Nitesh Tiwari, producer Namit Malhotra, and actors Ranbir Kapoor and Yash represented the film during a special panel discussion. It was a rare moment for an Indian film to receive such a platform at Comic-Con, showing the growing global interest in Indian cinema.

The team spoke about the scale of the project and their vision of bringing the epic story of Ramayana to audiences across the world. Their appearance received a positive response from fans and industry members attending the event.

Ramayana Trailer Launch Postponed

Many fans were expecting the first official trailer of Ramayana to be released on Thursday evening. However, the makers decided to postpone the launch after finalising a major international partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment, which will distribute the film globally.

Because of this new collaboration, the trailer was not shown during the Comic-Con panel either. The team confirmed that the trailer will now be launched worldwide at a later date so that audiences across different countries can watch it together.

Namit Malhotra Explains the Decision

Producer Namit Malhotra shared an emotional message on Instagram, calling the Sony partnership a dream come true. He said that the collaboration will help present Ramayana to the world like a major Hollywood production.

Malhotra added that this is a proud moment for Indian cinema as it will introduce India's rich culture and storytelling to global audiences. He also thanked fans for their support and assured them that the wait for the trailer would be worth it.

Interestingly, the trailer had already been shown privately to the film's cast, crew, and selected media members in Delhi last week, but it has not yet been released for the public.
