A light-hearted mix-up stole some attention at Ramayana‘s Hyderabad pre-release event on October 19, as producer-distributor Dil Raju accidentally called Ranbir Kapoor by another superstar’s name before quickly correcting himself. The moment, now circulating widely online, added an unscripted laugh to an evening built around one of Hindi cinema’s biggest upcoming releases.
Dil Raju’s Viral Slip At The Hyderabad Event
While addressing guests on stage, Dil Raju praised the film’s leading man but stumbled over the name. He said, “One of the best heroes is Ranveer Singh,” before immediately realising the mistake. He then corrected himself with, “Ranbir Kapoor garu, sorry,” and laughed at the blunder.

The crowd clearly enjoyed the moment, and Ranbir did too. In the viral clip, the actor is seen smiling and laughing as the slip-up lands, turning what could have been an awkward pause into one of the most talked-about clips from the event.
The Hyderabad gathering brought together key faces associated with Ramayana, including Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi. Karan Johar, who is distributing the Hindi version through Dharma Productions, and Dil Raju, who is handling distribution in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, were also present.
Ranbir Kapoor On Working With Yash
The evening also featured one of Ranbir’s most enthusiastic comments about his co-star Yash, who plays Ravana in the film. Speaking on stage, Ranbir said, “The first time I saw Yash, Rocking Star Yash’s film was KGF. I saw KGF; I became a massive fan. And then I met him one day in Goa when Namit and I went there, while he was doing a recce of a film he was doing. And I realised that this man is just not a superstar, an actor; he is a cinema man. He is somebody who understands writing; he understands storytelling, he understands acting, he understands how to produce a film, how to direct a film, how to act in a film.”
That quote underlined the scale of collaboration behind Ramayana, which has positioned itself as a major mythological spectacle months ahead of release.
