Ramayana Trio to Promote Film on KBC 18 with Amitabh Bachchan
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey join Amitabh Bachchan on KBC 18 for a two-day Diwali special to promote Ramayana.
Ramayana’s cast takes the KBC stage
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey will sit down with Amitabh Bachchan on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. The two-day special is scheduled for October 29 and 30 at 9 pm on Sony TV, and it is built around their upcoming mythological film, Ramayana.
The appearance is a classic Bollywood promotional play: take a big-ticket film to one of Hindi television’s most-watched quiz shows and let the host’s warmth do the selling. For a story as vast as Ramayana, that family reach matters. The format also gives the film direct access to KBC’s loyal viewing base, which includes older viewers who may not follow the cast on social media.
A Diwali memory breaks the ice
Sony TV’s promo centres on a question Ranbir asks the veteran host: “Amit uncle aapki koi Diwali ki yaadein.” Amitabh answers with a childhood memory of firecracker rivalry in his neighbourhood, saying the goal was simple: “hamara bomb usse zyada tez hona chahiye.”
It is a small, festive moment that sets a relaxed tone for the two episodes. The clip gives viewers a preview of the kind of easy conversation expected when the cast joins Amitabh, rather than a purely quiz-driven appearance.
Why this appearance lands at the right time
- The episodes air during Diwali week, when family viewing is at its peak.
- Ranbir, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey get a platform to discuss the film’s making and their roles in the epic.
- The reunion of Ranbir and Amitabh, who last shared screen in Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva (2022), adds a nostalgic hook.
The timing is deliberate. A mythological film like Ramayana needs a broad, multi-generational audience, and KBC is one of the few television formats that routinely brings generations together in one room. By placing the cast on the hot seat during Diwali, the makers get visibility at a moment when families are already watching together.
For fans, the special is a chance to see the film’s principal trio outside the heavy visual language of a mythological epic. If the full episodes carry the same lightness as the promo, the appearance could turn Ramayana from a much-anticipated title into a shared family conversation before it reaches cinemas.
