The makers of Ramayana Part 1, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and led by Ranbir Kapoor, hosted two events recently. One offered a first glimpse of the epic to an audience in Los Angeles, and then they headed to New York City for a second screening. One of the many videos that are going viral is where Ranbir Kapoor received a gift from a fan who introduced himself as a designer.
About The Gift
Ranbir Kapoor got a customised red bandhgala-style jacket replete with gorgeous threadwork, inspired by Ayodhya's Ram Mandir. The designer also mentioned how he was inspired by Ram Mandir while designing the jacket.

The piece also featured Lord Ram imagery on the back.
The Ramayana actor looked mighty impressed as he was later seen admiring the jacket and its intricate craftsmanship. The golden embroidery depicting Ram Mandir against the red fabric of the jacket looked lovely.

Ranbir Kapoor Introducing His Character Rama
Ranbir Kapoor had passionately introduced his character Lord Ram to the audience present at Los Angeles.
"Lord Rama has been the conscience keeper of billions of people around the globe for centuries and long after. He will continue being so long after we have gone. He enlightens us about the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversities. He stands for compassion, courage, righteousness, and forgiveness. He is called Maryada Purushottam, which stands for the ideal man," the actor says in the clip.
About Ramayana
On March 27, which marked Ram Navami, the makers of Ramayana announced that they would release the first look at Ranbir Kapoor's Rama on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti.
Alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Ramayana boasts a star-studded cast with Yash stepping into the role of Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Sunny Deol portraying Lord Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lord Lakshman.
On the technical front, the project brings together global heavyweights, including Oscar-winning composers Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman. The action is helmed by Mad Max: Fury Road stunt director Guy Norris, with performance capture expert Terry Notary-known for his work on the Avengers films-also on board.
The epic is planned as a two-part cinematic spectacle, with releases slated for Diwali 2026 and 2027, respectively.
