Shiv Sagar, the grandson of filmmaker and TV producer Ramanand Sagar, who made the TV show 'Ramayan' (1987), praised the grand visuals and the ensemble cast in the trailer for 'Ramayana'. Shiv said, "I thought Yash looked brilliant as Ravana. Sai Pallavi, too, suits the character." He added, "I only hope that Ranbir Kapoor is accepted as Rama."
