As per reports, the teaser has been granted a ‘U’ certificate, making it suitable for audiences across age groups.

The certification is said to have been issued on March 30, just days before the planned unveiling.
Ramayana teaser details and early buzz
So far, audiences have only seen an earlier introductory visual, which offered a VFX-heavy look into the film’s scale. That preview showcased Ranbir Kapoor’s calm portrayal of Ram alongside Yash’s intense Ravana, hinting at a visually ambitious retelling.
The upcoming glimpse is expected to expand on that world, offering a clearer look at the film’s tone, characters and visual design. The background score, composed by Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman, is also expected to play a key role in shaping the film’s epic mood.
