The *Ramayana* film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash is one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. Its trailer dropped today, July 30, and has taken social media by storm. Notably, Yash—portraying Ravana—has become the talk of the town. While glimpses of Ranbir Kapoor as Shri Ram and Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita are captivating, it is Yash’s commanding screen presence as the King of Lanka that has truly stolen the show.

As soon as the trailer was released, social media platform X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with praise. Most fans believe that Yash’s avatar as Ravana is the trailer's biggest USP. One user hailed the casting as the best of all time, noting how exciting it is to see Yash transform into this mythological villain.

Sharing a screenshot of Yash from the trailer, another user commented, "A larger-than-life frame. The aura of this single scene deserves a study of its own." Yet another user remarked, "Hearing Yash’s powerful voice gave me goosebumps." These are the kinds of reactions the *Ramayana* trailer is eliciting.

The trailer begins with the menacing avatar and thunderous roar of Yash (as Ravana), who asserts his dominion over the three worlds. To put an end to his tyranny and restore righteousness (*Dharma*), Lord Vishnu incarnates as ‘Shri Ram’ (Ranbir Kapoor). The trailer then showcases Shri Ram’s journey, ranging from the destruction of demons to his marriage with Mata Sita (Sai ​​Pallavi). This is followed by the 14-year exile, the abduction of Sita, and the epic battle between Shri Ram and Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
