The new poster of Ramayana: Rise of a Legend features the visuals of Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Yash as Raavan that were already seen earlier. The first teaser trailer came out on July 30 at 4:15 a.m. during Brahma Muhurat. The trailer showed the main conflict between Ram and Raavan and gave a wider perspective of the mythological universe formed for the movie. But a lot of people questioned the absence of Hanumanji.

Other members of the cast include Vivek Oberoi, Kunal Kapoor, Shobana, Saurabh Sachdeva, Faisal Malik, Indira Krishnan and Adinath Kothare in important mythological characters. The second part of Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is expected to hit the theatres in 2027.
