Namit also published the first poster for the flick. The poster depicted an arrow that exudes enchantment and had a golden shine. The poster reads, “Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana” along with the release date. Check it out below:

The image was revealed just weeks after KGF actor Yash announced his involvement in the project, playing Raavan and serving as a co-producer. According to the actor in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the film would not be made until the role is handled as such. To do a picture with that sort of money, you need those kinds of performers to work together.”
