But no character looks have been revealed. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Several looks of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama were reportedly leaked from the sets, but the makers chose not to comment on the leaks. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The film boasts music from AR Rahman, who collaborates with legendary composer Hans Zimmer, making his Hindi cinema debut. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The Rama glimpse will reportedly give the first look at Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, while also revealing the looks of Sita, Ravana, Lakshmana, and Lord Hanuman. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The teaser was unveiled to a select audience in Los Angeles last week in the presence of Namit Malhotra, Nitesh Tiwari, and Ranbir Kapoor. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Namit Malhotra has compared the film with The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, and Gladiator in its ambition and scale. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ramayana is the second big-budget adaptation of Valmiki\u2019s epic in Indian cinema in this decade. In 2023, Om Raut\u2019s Adipurush starring Prabhas tanked at the box office. <\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ramayana Part One is set to release in theatres in October 2026, ahead of Diwali.
