Punjabi Fan-Made Ramayana Trailer Goes Viral Following Bhojpuri Version

A fan-made Punjabi trailer for the upcoming film Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, has surfaced online, weeks after a similar Bhojpuri version circulated on social media. The trailer retains the film's original visuals but features dialogues dubbed in Punjabi, according to reports from Free Press Journal and NewsX.

Netizens React to Punjabi Trailer

The unofficial Punjabi trailer has drawn reactions on social media, with several users joking that more regional versions might be on the way. One user commented, "Next Gujarati aayega," while another wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Ramayana actually connects the whole nation, never seen such a thing with any other movie." A third user tweeted, "HERE WE GO AGAIN 😭🙏 but this time #Ramayana PUNJABI TRAILER (fan-made)." These reactions highlight the audience's enthusiasm for seeing the film in multiple languages, though no official announcement has been made regarding a Punjabi dub.

Official Release Plans

The official Ramayana film is expected to release in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and English, as reported by both Free Press Journal and NewsX. Reports also suggest that the makers are exploring releases in Japanese, Mandarin, and Spanish, signaling an international rollout, though these plans have not been confirmed. There has been no official confirmation about a Punjabi dub, leaving the circulating trailer as a fan creation rather than an official preview.

Casting and Trailer Reception

The film's theatrical trailer, released last month, received largely positive reviews, with particular praise for Yash's portrayal of Ravana. His transformation into the character became a major talking point, while the casting of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita also generated debate online, according to Free Press Journal.

Release Schedule and Production

Produced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana is planned as a two-part epic. The first part is scheduled for a Diwali release in 2026, with the second part expected to follow during Diwali 2027, as per NewsX's report; Free Press Journal similarly notes that Part 1 will release this Diwali and Part 2 the following year. The film is already being described as one of the most-awaited releases of the year, and the recent wave of fan-made trailers underscores its growing online footprint across India.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
