Ramayana trailer: Ranbir Kapoor takes on Yash in the righteous fight; fans ask where is Hanuman?
The trailer for the new Ramayana film has been released, showcasing a high-budget retelling of the epic featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash. While fans praised the visual scale, many expressed disappointment over the absence of the character Hanuman in the footage.
Why it matters
The film represents a major cultural production in Indian cinema, and the public reaction highlights the high expectations surrounding adaptations of religious epics.
Ramayana trailer: After month of anticipation, the Ranbir Kapoor-Sai Pallavi-Yash-starrer Ramayana trailer dropped on Thursday morning, teasing the good fight, the epic battle between the Maryada Purshottam Rama and the Lord of Three Worlds Ravana. The Ramayana trailer launched at 'Brahma Muhurat', 4:15 am in India, and will be attached to Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theatres. Yash enters the frame as a king without a kingdom who quickly goes on to win over the three worlds. We see glimpses of Rama (Ranbir Kapoor)'s might as a warrior, the swaymvar of Sita (Sai Pallavi) and the promise extracted by Kaikeyi (Lara Dutta) that send Rama, Sita and Lakshmana (Ravie Dubey) to 14 years of exile. We see Lakshmana cutting Surpanakha's (Rakulpreet) nose, the abduction of Sita and glimpses of the war that unfolds. While fights with many monsters ensue, Sunny Deol as Hanuman is missing from the trailer.
