Ramayana Trailer Cleared by CBFC; Ranbir Kapoor to Attend Launch Despite Conjunctivitis
The trailer for Nitesh Tiwari's mythological epic Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, and Sunny Deol, has received a 'U' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), with two versions approved—one lasting 4 minutes 15 seconds and another 4 minutes. The trailer is set for a global launch on July 24, 2026, following a special event in New Delhi. Despite contracting conjunctivitis from his daughter, Ranbir Kapoor is expected to attend the trailer launch, possibly wearing black glasses as a precaution. Additionally, a 34-minute footage of the film received an 'M' rating in Australia for moderate violence, advising parental guidance for viewers under 15. Ramayana is planned as a two-part release for Diwali 2026 and 2027, aiming for a grand cinematic scale with advanced VFX and AI dubbing technology.
