Notably, while Yash plays Ravana in Ramayana, Vivek will be seen in the role of Vidyutjihva in the film. Vidyutjihva was the Danava prince from the Kalakeya clan and the husband of Ravana’s sister, Shurpanakha. The trailer hints at an intense face-off battle between Ravana and Vidyutjihva, where he eventually kills Vivek Oberoi’s character.
Ramayana release date
Notably, Ramayana Part 1 was earlier announced for a Diwali release without a specific date. However, the makers recently released the English trailer, which confirmed November 6, 2026, as the global release date for the film. The announcement led to confusion among Indian audiences, since Diwali falls on November 8 this year.
However, producer Namit Malhotra, while speaking to NDTV during the inauguration of Prime Focus Studio’s Phase 1 at Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari in Mumbai, cleared the air around the release strategy. “It (Ramayana) will release in India on Diwali,” he said.
Addressing the difference between the international and Indian dates, the producer explained, “We are releasing internationally (on November 6) because the international distribution works from a Friday standpoint, which is the 6th of November. But (in) India, currently, we are targeting the Diwali release.”
Thus, as per the release strategy, Ramayana will release in international markets on Friday, November 6, before Indian theatres on Sunday, November 8, coinciding with Diwali.
