The much-awaited trailer of Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, was originally scheduled to release on July 24. However, just hours before its launch, the makers surprised fans by announcing that the trailer has been postponed.
Producer Namit Malhotra shared the update through an official social media statement, explaining the reason behind the decision and assuring fans that the wait will be worth it.
Ramayana Trailer Was Set for a Grand Global Release
According to Namit Malhotra, July 24 was meant to be a landmark day for the film. He revealed that Ramayana is being presented in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, a partnership aimed at taking the epic Indian story to audiences across the globe.
The trailer launch was planned as a worldwide event, reflecting the film's ambitious international vision.
Why the Trailer Has Been Delayed
In his statement, Malhotra said the team has decided to postpone the trailer release in light of the ongoing NEET paper leak protests across India. Students have been demonstrating in several parts of the country, demanding justice and accountability, with many celebrities publicly expressing their support.
The producer emphasized that the country's youth represent its future and that this was a time to stand with them rather than proceed with a major promotional event.
Namit Malhotra's Message
Sharing the announcement, Malhotra said that the film's global launch would happen at a later date, adding that it would mark a proud moment for Indian cinema. He expressed his vision of presenting Ramayana to the world on the scale of a major Hollywood production, allowing international audiences to experience India's rich cultural heritage and timeless storytelling.
He also thanked fans and supporters of the project for their patience and unwavering enthusiasm.
When Will the Ramayana Trailer Release?
While the makers have not announced a new official release date, industry reports suggest that the trailer could now arrive on July 31. However, the production team has not confirmed this timeline, and fans will have to wait for an official announcement.
