Sai Pallavi will portray Sita, while Yash takes on the role of Ravana. Ravi Dubey will appear as Laxman. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026. The narrative traces Rama’s life from his early years and marriage to Sita to the royal decree that sends the couple into a 14-year exile.

The first instalment is expected to culminate in Sita’s abduction, paving the way for the epic battle explored in the sequel. Conceived as a two-part spectacle, the film aims to blend visual grandeur with the emotional depth of the original tale.
