Moving beyond the conventional trailer launch format, the makers positioned the event as “The First Resolve,” reflecting their commitment to presenting the epic with authenticity, reverence, and cinematic excellence.
The star-studded evening brought together an eminent lineup including Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, Arun Govil, Shobana, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, alongside Baba Ramdev, director Nitesh Tiwari, and producer Namit Malhotra. Their presence underscored the scale and significance of the project.
Screened in 3D, the trailer offered a visually striking introduction to the world of the Ramayana, blending grand visuals with emotionally engaging storytelling. The film’s music stands out as a major highlight, featuring a collaboration between Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer and legendary Indian maestro A. R. Rahman, adding depth and resonance to the narrative. Rather than revealing too much, the trailer adopts a restrained approach, giving audiences a glimpse while preserving the epic’s emotional journey.
Speaking at the event, Nitesh Tiwari explained his casting philosophy, noting that he saw the essence of Lord Ram in Ranbir Kapoor’s eyes and that of Sita in Sai Pallavi’s, emphasizing emotional authenticity over mere appearance. The creative team reiterated their dedication to portraying the epic with cultural sensitivity, backed by years of research and meticulous craftsmanship.
The audience responded with enthusiastic appreciation, applauding the film’s scale, visual grandeur, and respectful storytelling. With Pratham Sankalp, the makers have laid a strong foundation for a cinematic experience that seeks not only to retell an ancient epic but also to bring its timeless values to modern global audiences.
