Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming movie Ramayana is one of the most anticipated projects of the year. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Nitesh Tiwari, the movie is scheduled to be released in two parts. The first part of the Ramayana will release on Diwali.

The first glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram was unvieled on April 2, on the ocassion of Hanuman Jayanti. Social media users, critics and cinegoers have been discussing the movie online endlessly. During the movie's promotional event, the actor appeared to tease the runtime of the mythological drama.

Speaking to Collider, during the Los Angeles screening of Ramayana's first glimpse, Ranbir Kapoor likened the movie to The Lord of the Rings. He said, "Ramayana is nothing less than 'Lord of the Rings', you know, it's our greatest epic spectacle coming from our country, and this was just a teaser."

Social media users are now suspecting that Ranbir's ‘six-hour’ comment was an indirect tease about the runtime of the duology, with each part being 3 hours long. However, there is no official confirmation from the filmmakers about the runtime of the Ramayana movies yet.
