CBFC Clears Two Versions of Ramayana Trailer with U Certificate Ahead of July 24 Launch

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted a 'U' (Universal) certificate to the trailer of Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film 'Ramayana', making it suitable for all age groups. The certification was issued on July 15, according to the CBFC website.

Two versions of the trailer have been cleared: a standard version running 4 minutes and 15 seconds, and a theatrical version with a runtime of exactly 4 minutes. The makers are set to launch the trailer on July 24.

The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana, is one of the most anticipated Indian films. Yash, who also co-produces the two-part epic, expressed confidence in the visual effects during an interview, noting that the work is still in progress and aimed at a top-notch final product.

Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 4,000 crore, the ensemble cast includes Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, along with Rakul Preet Singh, Kunal Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Arun Govil, Sheeba Chaddha, and Adinath Kothare.

'Ramayana: Part 1' is scheduled for release on Diwali 2026, with 'Ramayana: Part 2' following on Diwali 2027.
