Delhi witnessed a major Bollywood spectacle on Saturday as the team behind the upcoming Ramayana film arrived in style. Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Karan Johar were among the headliners, drawing large crowds and flashing cameras at the venue.
Kapoor, who plays Lord Ram in the ambitious project, was seen in dark sunglasses โ a detail that quickly drew attention. Reports confirm that the actor has been diagnosed with conjunctivitis, but chose to attend the launch regardless.
The actor's decision to travel and participate despite the contagious eye infection surprised many. Medical experts note that conjunctivitis remains contagious for as long as the eye is red and producing discharge โ typically 3 to 7 days. Officials have not yet confirmed whether Kapoor followed any specific health protocols during the event.
Despite this, the actor was all smiles, posing alongside his co-stars and the film's producers. His attendance signals the high priority the team places on this launch.
The event had an unexpected highlight when Sunny Deol appeared on stage. The actor, not previously confirmed as part of the project, made a brief but impactful appearance that left fans speculating about his role. Neither the production house nor Deol's team have offered any official comment on the nature of his involvement.
Also present were Yash and Sai Pallavi, who play key roles in the film. The trio of Kapoor, Yash and Pallavi shared the stage for the first time at this event, generating significant buzz on social media.
Adding to the excitement, a teaser clip of Ramayana has been circulating online. The clip was reportedly attached to screenings of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, leading to comparisons between the two epic films. Fans noted a new colour palette in the teaser, prompting speculation that the makers may have re-edited or re-graded the footage from an earlier version.
The Times of India reported that the clip has sparked debate over the film's visual direction. Neither the director nor the production team have confirmed any changes to the teaser.
As the event concluded, organisers hinted at more promotional activity in the coming weeks. With a star cast of this scale and a subject as beloved as the Ramayana, all eyes are now on the next reveal โ and on Ranbir Kapoor's recovery.
