Ryan Reynolds tipped for Ramayana LA premiere
The Story in Brief
Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds is reportedly among the guests expected at the Los Angeles premiere of Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Ramayana: Part I (The Rise of the Legend)’ on 27 October. The event at the David Geffen Theater at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is planned around Diwali, with guests reportedly asked to wear traditional Indian outfits in red.
According to a report by The Free Press Journal, the special screening will take place ahead of the film’s worldwide theatrical release. The 3D event is expected to host about 945 invited guests, including Hollywood personalities and international media. Reynolds’s attendance and outfit choice have not been independently confirmed.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, the film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Its worldwide theatrical release is scheduled for 5 November 2026, and a second part is planned for Diwali 2027.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Mathrubhumi and The Economic Times frame the premiere as a milestone, though each leads with a different hook. Mathrubhumi foregrounds Ryan Reynolds’s possible attendance and quotes a source calling it a proud moment for India, which tilts the piece toward spectacle. The Economic Times opens with the premiere itself and stresses that Reynolds’s presence remains unconfirmed, a more restrained take. The two reports agree on the core facts, including the date, venue and guest count. The main gap in both is the lack of independent confirmation of Reynolds’s attendance, so the prudent reading is that the scale of the rollout, reaching 125 countries, is the firmer news. The next detail to verify is Reynolds’s confirmed attendance before the 27 October premiere.
