The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the trailer of Ramayana with a ‘U’ certificate on July 15, ahead of its worldwide launch on July 24, 2026. The certification details show that the trailer is longer than a typical early promotional cut, with one version running for 4 minutes and 15 seconds.
The CBFC website also lists another certified trailer for the film, suggesting that two versions have been approved. One runs for 4 minutes and 15 seconds, while the other is 4 minutes long. It is not yet clear which version will be released digitally. Ramayana is the first part of Nitesh Tiwari’s two-film saga, with Part 1 set for Diwali 2026 and Part 2 scheduled for Diwali 2027.
According to the CBFC website, the two entries are titled ‘Trailer – Ramayana 3D’ and ‘Theatrical Trailer – Ramayana 3D’. The first has a duration of 4 minutes and 15 seconds, while the second runs for 4 minutes. Both have received a ‘U’ certificate.
The makers have already announced that the Ramayana trailer will premiere worldwide on July 24, 2026, marking the start of the film’s promotional campaign. The trailer launch is slated to be held in New Delhi, where director Nitesh Tiwari, producer Namit Malhotra and several cast members are expected to attend.
Earlier this year, on April 2, the makers released an introduction teaser titled Rama on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti. The video focused on the lead character of Lord Rama, played by Ranbir Kapoor, and had a run time of 2 minutes and 38 seconds. That teaser also received a ‘U’ certificate.
Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Yash as Ravana and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman. The film also features Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha and Kunal Kapoor as Lord Indra. It is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in association with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. The music is composed by A R Rahman and Hans Zimmer.
The two-part epic will release in IMAX worldwide, with Part 1 arriving on Diwali 2026 and Part 2 on Diwali 2027. The film reportedly has a Rs 4,000 crore budget.
