While Part 1 is scheduled for release during Diwali 2026, the second instalment will hit the screens during Diwali 2027. In the meantime, the makers are currently gearing up to unveil the trailer for Ramayana: Part 1 at 4:15 am on Thursday, July 30, during “the auspicious Brahma muhurat.”
At the San Diego Comic-Con recently, director Nitesh Tiwari had revealed that Part 1 would end on a cliffhanger. “Where we leave in Part 1 is something you can call a cliffhanger, something which will make people want to watch Part 2 the moment they leave the theatre. That’s basically it, you know. It’s a story that deserves two parts; it cannot be told in one part. We just decided that this would be the best moment where we can end part one, and leave the rest for part two,” he said.
