The much-anticipated 3D teaser of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is set to make its first big-screen appearance alongside James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash. According to reports, the teaser will be screened theatrically with the global sci-fi spectacle, offering audiences their first immersive glimpse into what is being positioned as one of the biggest Indian films of 2026. The move signals the makers’ intent to introduce Ramayana on a scale befitting its epic ambition.
From First Glimpse to Full 3D Experience
Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, unveiled its first-look teaser in July, instantly generating massive buzz across social media. While the brief reveal left fans intrigued, anticipation for a full-length teaser has only grown since. The upcoming 3D teaser promises to expand on that initial glimpse, allowing audiences to experience the film’s visual world in theatres for the first time.
Backed by World-Class Visual Effects
The visual effects for Ramayana are being handled by DNEG, the eight-time Academy Award–winning VFX studio known for its work on large-scale global productions. The studio was also responsible for the visuals seen in the July teaser, which impressed viewers with its scale and polish. Screening the 3D teaser alongside Avatar: Fire and Ash—a franchise synonymous with cutting-edge visuals—positions Ramayana firmly within a global cinematic context.
Strategic Pairing With Avatar: Fire and Ash
Audiences heading to theatres for Avatar: Fire and Ash will now be treated to an unexpected bonus: a 3D preview of a landmark Indian epic. This pairing not only maximises reach but also aligns Ramayana with a film known for redefining theatrical spectacle. For many viewers, this will mark their first experience of Ramayana on the big screen, well ahead of its release.
A Diwali 2026 Release on the Horizon
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is slated for a grand theatrical release during Diwali 2026. The film is produced by Prime Focus Studios and co-produced by Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. With a powerful cast, top-tier visual effects, and a carefully planned rollout, the project is shaping up to be a defining cinematic event.
