The makers of Ramayana marked Ganesh Chaturthi with a special surprise for fans, unveiling a new poster of Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi as Ram and Sita. The poster offers a glimpse of their characters sharing a tender moment against a tranquil forest backdrop.

Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi exude a serene, divine presence as Ram and Sita in the new poster. Ranbir appears regal in traditional attire, while Sai looks graceful in a classic ensemble. Set against a tranquil forest backdrop, the image captures Ram lovingly fixing Sita's hair while she looks shy and smiles. Sharing it, the makers wrote, "Celebrating the timeless bond of Siya Ram."

On Sunday night, the makers issued a statement, announcing two surprises for fans on Ganesh Chaturthi. It read, "Every auspicious beginning begins with an invocation. This Ganesh Chaturthi, Ramayana's musical journey begins with the unveiling of our Siya Ram Poster. Followed soon after by our first musical offering, Jai Jai Ram."
As soon as the poster dropped, a section of the audience called it beautiful and divine. One wrote, "Ohh God, can't believe my eyes, we're finally seeing this. They actually look exactly like the Ram and Sita we've imagined in our heads." Another commented, "Whatever the initial opinions were⦠this poster says it all. Sai Pallavi as Sita is beautiful!" One more commented, "If a poster can feel this beautiful, imagine the world waiting inside the film."
