Ramayana: Part 1 could receive a high-profile screening at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi on November 5, 2026, coinciding with its scheduled worldwide theatrical release. The makers of the mythological epic, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, are reportedly seeking permission to organise a special screening for political leaders. However, the proposed event has not yet been officially confirmed.

According to reports, Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi and director Nitesh Tiwari are expected to attend if the screening goes ahead. The film’s launch plans reportedly include two premieres, one in Mumbai and another in Delhi. The Mumbai event is said to be planned at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC).

Ramayana: Part 1 Cast and Characters

The upcoming epic features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravana and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Ravi Dubey plays Lakshman, while Sunny Deol portrays Hanuman.

The supporting cast includes Rakul Preet Singh, Lara Dutta, Vivek Oberoi, Sheeba Chadha, Arun Govil and Indira Krishnan.

The proposed Rashtrapati Bhavan screening could add a prominent event to the film’s launch campaign, although the attendance of political leaders and cast members remains subject to confirmation.

Jatayu Poster Adds to Promotional Build-Up

The makers have continued to release promotional material ahead of the film’s theatrical debut. Recent material reportedly includes a new video highlighting the film’s title and glimpses of its action sequences, alongside plans for a 3D cinematic experience in theatres, IMAX and premium large-format screens.

A new poster featuring Jatayu has also been unveiled, with actor Anupam Kher lending his voice to the revered bird.

In the Ramayana, Jatayu attempts to rescue Sita after Ravana abducts her. Despite knowing the risks, he confronts Ravana, making his sacrifice a significant moment in the epic.

Release Date and Second Instalment

Ramayana: Part 1 is scheduled for worldwide release on November 5, 2026, in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

The project is planned as a two-part cinematic saga, with the second instalment slated for Diwali 2027.

With its ensemble cast, large-scale production and ambitious theatrical presentation, the film is building anticipation ahead of its release. Whether the proposed Rashtrapati Bhavan screening takes place will depend on the required permissions and an official announcement from the makers.
