The Ramayana panel is scheduled for Thursday at 3:15 PM PDT in the iconic Ballroom 20, which can accommodate 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, grand production, character journeys and its adaptation of the ancient Indian epic for a global audience, the team is also expected to unveil exclusive footage before premiering the official trailer.
According to the Comic-Con schedule, the presentation will take place between 3:15 AM and 4:15 AM IST on July 24, making it the first public showcase of the film’s footage.
However, Indian fans may have to wait a little longer to watch the trailer.
A screenshot shared online from the official social media handle of PVR Pictures suggests that the trailer will release at 10 AM IST on July 24 on digital platforms and theaters. At the same time, several online reports said that the launch could happen at 8 AM IST. The manufacturers, however, have only confirmed the release date and have not yet announced the official time.
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 enables 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 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 shatter the universe.”
The mythological epic features one of the largest ensembles in Indian cinema. Ranbir Kapoor stars as 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 may hit theaters on November 8, with the official release date expected to be revealed in the trailer.
