The teaser reveal happened at events across multiple cities, and Namit and Nitesh spoke about their upcoming project in Mumbai. Nitesh shared that due to divine intervention, the shoot wrapped up just a day before the teaser release and they could be present at the event. The director said, "Aaj prabhu ki yeh iccha thi ki hum yahan aa paye, isliye humaare shoot ek din pehle khatam ho gaya. It was our destiny to be here."

Namit shared, "I started in this industry 30 years ago, growing up in a film family, setting up a little studio in a garage in Mumbai and turning it into a true global entity and watching some of the greatest filmmakers and studios across the world. I'm here today to talk to you about something even more special, something that's been my dream my entire life. It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the world of Ramayana."

He further continued, "That's the story of our culture, our truth, our history, our growing up, the way we've all learned a lot about each other, how humanity and how our thought process and values have shaped the world and continue to do so. All of us should take tremendous pride and feel great joy that we are able to bring this great story and great epic to the world in the grandest form and manner possible."

"The trailer and the teaser will happen subsequently which we will joyously come to you again and present at the right time," he concluded.

When asked what he would want people to take away from Ramayana, Nitesh said, "I am also an avid movie watcher. For me, the most important aspect is emotions and pride. If we can evoke the pride we have for the great cultural heritage of our country, we should be able to show it to the whole world that this is what we stand for. To me that would be an achievement."
