On Thursday, the makers dropped the much-awaited first look of Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash from their upcoming film Ramayana. The announcement video opens with a striking portrayal of the holy trinity — Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva — symbolizing the cosmic forces. It then seamlessly shifts, through vivid animation, to reveal the lead characters from the epic tale: Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as the formidable Ravana.
The teaser highlights a compelling contrast between Yash's fierce and intense portrayal of Ravana and Ranbir Kapoor's serene and composed depiction of Lord Ram. It also features glimpses of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva.
Sharing the first look glimpse on Instagram, the makers wrote, 'Ten years of Aspiration. Relentless Conviction to bring the Greatest Epic of all time to the World. An outcome through a collaboration of some of the world's best to ensure that Ramayana is presented with the greatest amount of Reverence and Respect. Welcome to the Beginning. Let's Celebrate the IMMORTAL story of Rama v/s Ravana. Our Truth. Our History.'
'Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari,' is set for a global release, with Part 1 arriving in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 following in Diwali 2027.

Mohammed Shami Called 'Characterless', Ex-Wife Accuses Him Of Hiring Criminals To...
Last Updated: Hasin Jahan, ex-wife of cricketer Mohammed Shami, has accused him of bribing criminals to harm her and wasting money on 'crooks and prostitutes.' Hasin Jahan, the ex-wife of cricketer Mohammed Shami, has accused him of bribing criminals to 'harm, defame and harass' her over the past seven years of their legal battle. She called him 'characterless, greedy, and mean-minded' and said he used the money their family deserved on 'crooks and prostitutes'. Jahan made the comments via Instagram on Friday (July 4). They come only days after the Calcutta High Court ordered him to pay Rs 4 lakh per month to her and their daughter Aaira in a divorce case. The couple ended their four-year-long marriage in 2018 after Jahan, a former model, accused Shami of domestic violence. 'Till my last breath, we will have a strong relationship, Inshallah," Jahan wrote on Instagram. 'The only thing left is for you to decide what kind of strong relationship that will be. For 7 years, we've been involved in a legal battle. What have you gained from it? Because of being characterless, greedy, and mean-minded, you ended up destroying your own family," she added. 'How many criminals did you bribe to harm me, defame me, harass me, defeat me everywhere? Did you achieve anything? The money you wasted on crooks and prostitutes—if you had spent that on your daughter's education, life, and future, and given me a good life, things would've been so much better. You would've been saved from sin, and we could've lived a respectful and dignified life," she added. Shami has continued to plead his innocence in the case. He has retained his place in the Indian team as well as getting several IPL contracts in the meantime. 'You took advantage of a male-dominated society and stayed happy while antisocial people called me wrong. Now I will take the help of the law, claim all our rights, and live happily, Inshallah. Now you think: which support is stronger—social or legal? But remember: all the antisocial people giving you moral support right now are supporting your sins. The day your bad time begins, these same people will make your life hell, Inshallah. Have faith in that," she concluded. India are currently playing a five-Test series against England in the UK. Shami has not been selected for the tour due to fitness and form concerns, with the team getting some young blood in.
