As the countdown begins for the release of Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated film Ramayana Part I on November 5, 2026, just in time for Diwali, following a teaser in July 2025 confirming that Part II will follow around the same time in 2027, lead star Ranbir Kapoor has been actively promoting the movie alongside co-stars Sai Pallavi and Yash, during which an interaction led the cast to discuss the “diya” in their lives in connection with Diwali celebrating Lord Ram’s return to Ayodhya, prompting Ranbir to share that his daughter Raha Kapoor is his ultimate diya as she approaches her fourth Diwali and celebrates her birthday on November 6—two days prior to the festival—hoping she receives abundant blessings and positivity. Meanwhile, Sai Pallavi expressed her gratitude over the overwhelming reception while shifting the spotlight away from the main cast to give a heartfelt shout-out to all the hardworking assistant directors, costume designers, and behind-the-scenes crew members who have yet to receive public adoration, praying for their well-being. Produced by Namit Malhotra and slated for a November 5 release, the film boasts a stellar ensemble featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Yash as Ravana, alongside Ravie Dubey and veteran actors like Arun Govil as Dasharatha, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Indira Krishnan as Kaushalya, Sonal Jha as Sumitra, Adinath Kothare as Bharata, Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari, and Rakul Preet Singh as Shurpanakha.
