Ranbir Kapoor, usually the epitome of Bollywood panache, surprised Bengaluru crowds by launching the Ramayana trailer in fluent Kannada, dropping the “Namaskara Bengaluru” line that had internet memes spinning.
But the real buzz came when he turned to Yash, the menacing Ravana, and joked he’d come back to learn a few more lines in Kannada, sparking a wave of memes that trended for hours.
The October 15 launch was a glittering affair: Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, A.R. Rahman, and even the thunderous voice of Sunny Deol joined the proceedings, turning the event into a mini‑film festival for the city.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the epic positions Ranbir as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, with Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and a supporting cast that promises a blend of mythic gravitas and cinematic flair.
With the first instalment hitting screens worldwide on November 5, 2026, audiences get a chance to see myth retold in high‑definition spectacle, and the second part is slated for Diwali 2027, setting the stage for a cultural juggernaut.
If Ranbir’s Kannada debut is any indication, Ramayana: Rise Of A Legend is poised to test the limits of storytelling, linguistics, and blockbuster ambition alike.
