Now, fans have been eagerly waiting for the trailer to be revealed, as the film is officially slated to hit the theatres on Diwali 2026. During a panel at the San-Diego Comic Con 2026, producer Namit Malhotra opened up about the trailer's release worldwide. "We announced right before the panel that Sony Pictures Entertainment is going to be distributing Ramayana globally. It also means the trailers are hot on the heels. We showed the trailer at the panel and we are going to be launching that very, very soon. Stay tuned, it could be any day."

The panel also comprised Ranbir Kapoor and director Nitesh Tiwari. Previously, Ranbir spoke extensively about being cast as Lord Rama in the epic. Addressing conversations around his casting, Ranbir acknowledged that audiences will always have different opinions about who should portray the revered character. He said, “They all have their own interpretation of Lord Ram. There is no fixed face to it. Many people will probably feel like I am the wrong casting. Some people will say I am the right casting. But the honest truth is the right casting for Rama would be any actor who has the right intentions and who has belief and faith in the journey of Lord Rama.”

He also spoke to Reuters about presenting "Ramayana" at San-Diego Comic Con. He said, "I've always been a fan of comic conventions. To finally be here ​on the other side with a story, which is so ingrained in our ​culture, to bring that to a larger audience, it's really a proud ⁠moment for our entire team."
