Released digitally on Friday in six languages, the new cut is the opening move of the film’s global campaign, led by Sony Pictures Entertainment.## What the new trailer showsThe trailer opens on Ravana’s rise. Yash walks a barren landscape as a voiceover speaks of an age when men walked among gods. Then the scale jumps: Kunal Kapoor appears as Devraj Indra, king of the gods, riding his celestial elephant Airavata — and Ravana strikes the beast down, sending it crashing to the ground.The second half belongs to Rama. Ranbir Kapoor’s prince of Ayodhya is positioned as the one man who can stop Ravana, with the narration declaring: “Men have one hope. Not a God, but man. Rama.” His warning lands hard: “If I don’t stop him, the world will fall. This is just the beginning.”Internationally, the film is being presented as “Ramayana: Rise of a Legend,” Variety India reports — a title aimed at viewers meeting the epic for the first time.Also read: [Ramayana Part 1: release date, cast, trailer](https://indiapresents.in/ramayana-part-one-release-date-november-5/)## The two posters that broke the internetAlongside the trailer came two solo posters.
