Music is also expected to be a standout feature. The film brings together two legendary composers Academy Award winners A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Their collaboration promises a powerful background score that could elevate every emotional and action-packed moment featured in the trailer.

Iconic Moments That Could Feature

The trailer is likely to showcase some of the most memorable chapters from the Ramayana. Fans may get a glimpse of Rama winning Sita's hand in Mithila by lifting and breaking Lord Shiva's divine bow, Pinaka. Another emotional sequence could be the exile of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita as they leave Ayodhya to honour King Dasharath's promise.

The teaser may also hint at Sita's abduction by Ravana, Hanuman's unwavering devotion, and the beginning of the epic battle between good and evil. These timeless moments form the heart of the Ramayana and are expected to be recreated on a massive cinematic scale.
