Taking to her Instagram handle, Sargun posted a series of pictures and videos from the grand trailer launch event, marking the occasion with a deeply personal note. She wrote: “My heart is so full I can’t type till I stop crying and I can’t currently stop crying. Cannot wait for the world to witness the trailer on 24th July 2026. Thank you to the man who put us here. who showed faith in us. Hamaare pyaare @castingchhabra. Indebted to you forever Jai Shree Ram. just with every breath I want to thank god for being so kind.

The heartfelt note was widely shared and drew an outpouring of response from fans and the film fraternity. Sargun credited casting director Chhabra for placing her husband on what she called a once-in-a-lifetime stage.

Ravi Dubey Gets Emotional at Trailer Launch

At the trailer launch event held in Delhi, Ravi Dubey himself became visibly emotional while speaking about his experience of preparing to portray Lakshman. He described the opportunity as a divine blessing, expressing deep gratitude for being chosen to embody such a revered character.

During his address, Ravi referred to co-star Ranbir Kapoor — who plays Lord Ram — as “bhaiya,” and addressed Sai Pallavi — cast as Sita — as “Mata Sita,” reflecting the reverence the cast has brought to their roles both on and off screen.

What Ravi Dubey Said

Ravi was quoted as saying: “Shri Ram chunte hain, aur jab Shri Ram chunte hain, to bhaav bhi wahi dete hain, sadhan bhi wahi dete hain, sansaadan bhi wahi dete hain, himmat bhi wahi dete hain” — meaning that when Shri Ram chooses someone, He also provides the sentiment, the means, the resources, and the courage to fulfil the role.

He added: “Naa jane, yeh kaise ho gaya ki, itne bade naamon mein, itne bade manch pe main yahan khadha hoon. Yeh shayad mere mata pita ke ache karam hai jo ki, mera mahasaubhagya ban gaye aur, yahan Ram katha mein, mein aaj Shri Lakshmi ka patr nibha raha hoon.” Translated, Ravi reflected on how, perhaps through the good deeds of his parents, he found himself standing on such a grand platform — with the immense privilege of portraying Shri Lakshman.

The Film and Its Cast

Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is one of the most ambitious Bollywood productions in recent memory. Ranbir Kapoor stars as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi plays Sita, and Yash is cast as Ravana. The trailer was set to release on 24 July 2026, with the Delhi launch event serving as the first major public unveiling of the project.

The emotional responses from both Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta ahead of the trailer drop signal the personal weight the cast has attached to this mythological retelling — one that carries enormous cultural and commercial expectations.
