Ramayana Part 1 trailer leaked (Image source: IMDb)
The much-awaited trailer of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 has become a victim of piracy even before its official digital release. A 1-minute and 28-second clip, recorded during Pratham Sankalp’s exclusive event in New Delhi, surfaced on social media platforms within hours of the show.
In response, producer Namit Malhotra and the film’s legal team began a large-scale anti-piracy operation to remove the leaked footage and determine its source. The official trailer is scheduled to be released on July 24, and the game’s makers are urging fans to avoid unauthorized clips and experience the visuals as intended.
Leaked trailer of Ramayana Part 1 prompts anti-piracy action
The exclusive preview of Ramayana: Part 1 was only for invited guests attending the Pratham Sankalp event in New Delhi.
However, shortly after the show, a phone-recorded clip lasting approximately 1 minute and 28 seconds began circulating online.According to a Mid-Day report, the issue started almost immediately after the screening, when a roughly 88-second clip from the trailer started circulating on social media. According to sources, the footage appears to have been recorded on an attendee’s phone during the event, as it captured Rama’s entry sequence along with the moment he agreed to fulfill his father’s promise to Kaikeyi.
Producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari have since activated their anti-piracy partners and legal teams to identify and remove unauthorized uploads. A source close to the production said takedown efforts have been underway since Saturday night, with the clip successfully pulled from Reddit by Sunday morning, though deleting it from X (formerly Twitter) proved more difficult.
Yash He dominates the stage in Hindi
Piracy scares aside, Pratham Sankalp’s preview provided its share of special moments.
Yash, who plays the antagonist Lankesh (Ravan) in the film, impressed the Delhi audience by addressing them entirely in fluent Hindi. The actor spoke about the scale of the project, as he envisioned the Ramayana as a film designed to bring Indian history and mythology to a global audience rather than a purely domestic release.
Sai Pallavi On preparing to play Sita
Sai Pallavi shared one of the most emotional moments of the evening while talking about preparing for the role of Goddess Sita.
The actress revealed that she spent months practicing daily meditation, believing it was necessary to achieve the inner calm, compassion and grace required to portray one of the most revered characters in Indian mythology.The ‘Ek Din’ actress shared, “It’s not easy for actors to get roles like this. Because it’s not easy to play a goddess. There has to be a team that puts their heart and souls into making it the best version.”
I don’t think I chose to play Sita maa. I was honored to play this role. It’s not something you can chase and it’s not something you can write down and say, this is how I want to play. I would sit and meditate and say, Sita Ma, you are acting through me.
Whatever comes through me is what you want for the movie.
Ranbir Kapoor He apologizes for the conjunctivitis and praises him Arun Govil
Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Rama, appeared despite suffering from a severe case of conjunctivitis, and was wearing tinted glasses to protect his eyes during the evening.
The actor took a moment in front of the microphone to apologize to guests for his appearance, joking that he didn’t want his eye infection to take the focus away from the shots they were about to watch.Kapoor joked, “Ye kala chashma pehenne ke liye main aap sab se kshama chahta hoon. Kya hai ki meri aankhon mein infection ho gaya hai. Aaj is shubh avsar par aap sab ke liye sirf emotion hai, isliye please don’t mind.” (I apologize to everyone for wearing these black sunglasses.
The reason is that I have an eye infection. On this happy occasion, I have nothing but affection for you all, so please don’t mind.)Kapoor also spoke about the honor and responsibility of portraying the role of Lord Rama, describing the film as one of the most important projects of his career.Speaking about taking on the huge role of Lord Rama, he said that he truly felt as if the character had chosen him and not the other way around.

Anyone who has watched Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan has been deeply inspired by you.”
If I could portray Shri Ram even a little like I did, I would feel like my hard work has paid off. Bachpan se Sir Bhagwan Shri Ram ka Aashirwad, unki requesth aur aapka chehra apne dil mein rakh kar bada hua hoon (Since childhood, we have sought the blessings and learning of Lord Rama and kept your face in our hearts).
We love you like you are our own, and we thank you for everything!”The most heartwarming event of the evening happened when Ranbir Kapoor took to the stage and warmly greeted poet Kumar Vishwas and actor Sunny Deol, coming down to touch their feet as a traditional sign of respect.
