Ranbir also confessed that he was initially hesitant to take up the monumental role. The offer came about four years ago and left him feeling unprepared. “I remember when Namit offered me this part around four years back, my instant reaction was: ‘I am not fit enough, good enough.’ I felt I wouldn’t be able to do full justice. But that fear quickly turned into gratitude because opportunities like this were something I truly needed in my life,” he said.
Directed by Tiwari, Ramayana is a two-part adventure saga. It also stars co-producer Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, former Rama actor Arun Govil as King Dasharatha, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, and Kunal Kapoor as Indra among several others.

Ramayana Teaser Live Updates: 'Some shots even remind you of 2.0 and Adipurush'
X page Bollywood Box Office shared their take on Ramayana teaser and posted, "#ramayana Teaser is an EPIC DISAPPOINTMENT. Ramayana is close to everyone’s heart. It’s not just a story, it’s an emotion. And that’s exactly where this teaser fails the most. There’s a lot of VFX on display, but it doesn’t leave any real impact. It feels more artificial than immersive. The use of AI is quite evident, and instead of enhancing the experience, it takes you out of it. Some shots even remind you of 2.0 and Adipurush. What’s more disappointing is that instead of bringing out the rooted, spiritual depth of Ramayana, the teaser leans towards Western-style visuals, which doesn’t quite fit the essence of the story. Ramayana isn’t about VFX, it’s about emotion, depth and soul… and that’s what’s missing here. Really hoping the final film delivers what this teaser couldn’t."
