Ramayana LA Premiere: Ranbir, Sai Pallavi, Yash Shine
Nitesh Tiwari’s epic Ramayana: Rise of a Legend made its global debut in Los Angeles on October 27, 2026, with lead stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash walking the red carpet at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The invite-only 3D screening at the David Geffen Theatre marked the first public presentation of the film, days before its worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026.
Who Played Who on the Red Carpet
Ranbir Kapoor, who portrays Lord Rama, appeared in an elegant traditional ensemble, while Sai Pallavi, cast as Sita, opted for a pink saree that drew wide attention from fans gathered at the venue. Yash, who plays Ravana, arrived with his wife, actor Radhika Pandit, and was greeted with loud cheers from fans as he made his way to the venue. A warm embrace between Yash and Ranbir on the red carpet became one of the most widely shared moments from the premiere, with photographs and videos circulating across social media.
Director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra accompanied the cast at the event, which brought together Indian and international attendees for the first showcase of the ambitious adaptation of the Indian epic.
Hollywood Guests and First Reactions
Several Hollywood celebrities and social media influencers attended the exclusive screening, including Jada Pinkett Smith, Jonathan Scott and Poorna Jagannathan, who reunited with her Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani co-star Ranbir Kapoor at the event. Rakul Preet Singh was also among the guests at the Los Angeles premiere.
Early reactions from the premiere, reported by Indian entertainment outlets, hailed the film’s ambitious scale, visual experience and authenticity, though full reviews are still to come. Yash, speaking at the event, said he was “proud to be a Kannadiga,” a remark that was widely picked up by fans and media alike.
What Comes Next for Ramayana
Ramayana: Part One reaches theatres worldwide on November 5, 2026, and advance buzz around the film has been building for months, with its trailers and posters drawing massive online attention. The Los Angeles premiere was positioned as the film’s international showcase, introducing the Indian epic to audiences across the world ahead of its Indian release.
The film is the first part of a two-part adaptation, and its box-office performance will be closely watched given its scale and the star power attached to it.
