Delhi’s Ramayana buzz has picked up just before the film’s Pratham Sankalp showcase, with Bharat Mandapam set to host one of the project’s most closely watched public moments yet. At the center of that anticipation is Ranbir Kapoor, whose appearance matters enormously to the rollout because he leads Nitesh Tiwari’s epic as Lord Rama.
That is what makes the latest health update especially notable. Kapoor has contracted conjunctivitis ahead of the event, but the actor is still expected to honour his commitment and attend, with black glasses likely to be part of the precaution. For a film mounting its next big visibility push, even that small visual detail has instantly become part of the build-up.
Ranbir Kapoor’S Eye Infection Before Ramayana Pratham Sankalp
An event-side source update shared ahead of the Delhi gathering said Kapoor caught the infection after his daughter Raha Kapoor was affected first. The same source communication added, “As team Ramayana is all set for the massive Pratham Sankalp at Bharat Mandapam, RK, who is always known for fulfilling his commitments, may be seen wearing black glasses during the event as a precaution”.
The update places Kapoor’s likely appearance in a practical light rather than as a withdrawal from the event. The expectation, as things stand, is that he will attend while taking visible precautions during the public showcase.
Why This Delhi Event Carries Weight For Ramayana
For Ramayana, Pratham Sankalp is more than a routine promotional stop. It is a statement event for a film that has been mounted on an unusually grand scale and has already drawn sustained interest for its cast, visual ambition, and mythological legacy. Public launches like this help define tone, confidence, and audience expectation long before a film reaches theatres.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The first part is scheduled for a Diwali 2026 theatrical release, making every major promotional beat crucial in shaping the film’s long runway to release.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Kapoor arrives at this event in a phase where audience attention around him is already unusually high. His 2023 releases Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Animal kept him firmly in the mainstream conversation, with Animal becoming the biggest box office success of his career. Before that, he appeared in Shamshera and Brahmastra: Part One, Shiva in 2022, keeping his theatrical presence active across very different commercial spaces.
That momentum adds extra intrigue to his Ramayana appearances, because the film is not just another title on his slate. It is one of the defining projects of his current phase. Beyond Ramayana: Part 1, his confirmed lineup also includes Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, which keeps the spotlight firmly on how he navigates these large-scale headline projects.
