Ramayana's second trailer has finally landed. Trailer 2 was launched on October 15, 2026, by Sony Pictures International at a grand event in Bengaluru, unveiling the film's international title, "Ramayana: Rise of a Legend".
The new cut goes all-in on the central clash between Ranbir Kapoor — read our Ranbir Kapoor biography — as Rama and Yash as Ravana, and locks the film's worldwide release for November 5, 2026.
Trailer 2: What It Shows
The trailer opens with a sweeping narration: "In a time when men walked among gods, and evil rose from the darkness." Rama is framed not as a distant deity but as a man — "not a God, but a man" — carrying the weight of a kingdom.
Ravana, played by Yash, storms through the cut with menace, declaring, "Before me, every head will bow." The trailer also gives the first look at Kunal Kapoor as Indra, the king of the celestials, riding the celestial elephant Airavata — only to be struck down by Ravana in a thunderous clash.
The second half shifts to Rama's forest battles, building to the trailer's closing promise: "If I don't stop him, the world will fall. This is just the beginning."
