The Ramayana panel is scheduled for Thursday at 3:15 PM PDT in the iconic Ballroom 20, which can hold about 4,800 attendees. Hosted by entertainment journalist Coy Jandreau, the session will feature Ranbir, Yash, director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra.
Apart from talking about the film’s ambitious vision, large-scale production, characters’ journeys and its adaptation of the ancient Indian epic for a global audience, the team is also expected to reveal exclusive images before releasing the official trailer.
According to the Comic-Con schedule, the screening will take place between 3:15 AM and 4:15 AM IST on July 24, making it the first public screening of the film’s footage.
However, fans in India may have to wait a little longer to watch the trailer.
A screenshot shared online from PVR Pictures’ official social media suggests that the trailer will be released at 10 am IST on July 24 across digital platforms and theatres. At the same time, various online reports claim that the launch could take place at 8 am IST. The makers, however, have only confirmed the release date and haven’t announced the official time yet.
The Comic-Con presentation is also expected to feature a specially created English-dubbed version of the trailer. According to the production team, it uses AI-assisted lip sync technology, which allows the actors’ lip movements to match the English dialogue naturally as part of the film’s international release strategy.
The official SDCC synopsis reads: “In an age of gods and kings, the fate of the worlds hangs in the balance. Rama, a prince bound by duty, sacrifice, and the greater good, must face Ravana, an immortal ruler driven by pride and vengeance, powerful enough to destroy the cosmos.”
The mythological epic boasts one of the largest ensembles in Indian cinema. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, Yash essays Ravana, Sunny Deol appears as Lord Hanuman and Ravi Dubey plays the role of Lakshman.
The supporting cast includes Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Rakul Preet Singh as Shurpanakha, Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari, Arun Govil as King Dashrath, Vivek Oberoi as Vidyutjihva, Kunal Kapoor as Lord Indra, Adinath Kothare as Bharata, while Anupam Kher lends his voice to Jatayu.
While Ramayana is slated for a Diwali 2026 release, industry reports suggest that the film could hit theaters on November 8, with the official release date expected to be revealed in the trailer.
