Ranbir Kapoor Asks MrBeast to Chant 'Jai Shree Ram' at Ramayana Event

YouTuber MrBeast joined Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and the team of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana at a special event in Mumbai on September 26. During the interaction, Ranbir Kapoor asked MrBeast to chant “Jai Shree Ram”, with the American creator joining in at the event.

The appearance came as Ramayana expands its promotional campaign ahead of its theatrical release. Reports before the event had indicated that MrBeast would interact with the film's cast and creative team as part of a global promotional push.

What happened between Ranbir Kapoor and MrBeast at the Ramayana event?

During the Mumbai event, Ranbir Kapoor interacted with MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, and asked him to chant “Jai Shree Ram.”

MrBeast joined the chant, creating one of the event's most widely shared moments. Reports from the event confirm that the YouTuber attended the Ramayana promotional gathering alongside the film's team.

Why was MrBeast at the Ramayana event?

MrBeast's appearance was part of a special interaction connected with the promotion of Ramayana.

Before the event, multiple reports said the YouTuber was expected to meet Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Namit Malhotra. MrBeast had already been spotted in India, including at the Taj Mahal in Agra with his wife, Thea Booysen.

The collaboration is notable because MrBeast has a huge international digital audience, while Ramayana is being positioned as a large-scale Indian film with global ambitions.

Who attended the Ramayana event with MrBeast?

The event brought together several key members of the Ramayana team.

Ravie Dubey and other members of the film's team were reported to be part of the promotional interaction.

Why is MrBeast collaborating with Ramayana?

The reported collaboration is primarily being presented as part of Ramayana's effort to reach audiences beyond the traditional Indian film market.

MrBeast has a major international digital following, making his participation different from a conventional Bollywood promotional interview. Reports before the event described the collaboration as an attempt to connect the film with a broader global audience.

However, the exact commercial or promotional arrangement between MrBeast and the Ramayana makers has not been publicly detailed in the sources reviewed.

What is Ramayana about?

Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is a large-scale cinematic adaptation of the Ramayana, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Rama and Sai Pallavi portraying Sita.

The film also features Yash as Ravana and Ravie Dubey as Lakshmana, while Sunny Deol is associated with the role of Hanuman. Namit Malhotra is producing the project, with DNEG involved in its visual effects.

The project is planned as a two-part film, with the first instalment currently scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release in November 2026.

When will Ramayana Part 1 release?

Ramayana: Part 1 is currently scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 6, 2026, according to recent reports.

The second instalment is planned for 2027.

What makes the MrBeast appearance significant?

The event brings together two very different entertainment audiences: Indian cinema and global creator-led digital entertainment.

MrBeast's involvement also fits with the film's reported effort to present Ramayana to audiences outside India's traditional movie market. The collaboration therefore functions as more than a standard cast interview, although the precise scope of any future content collaboration remains unclear.

Did MrBeast visit India before the Ramayana event?

Yes. MrBeast was spotted in Agra at the Taj Mahal before his reported interaction with the Ramayana team in Mumbai.

He was accompanied by his wife, Thea Booysen, and members of his team. His India visit generated considerable attention on social media before the connection with the Ramayana event became clear.

What can we expect from the Ramayana and MrBeast collaboration?

The September 26 event confirms that MrBeast and the Ramayana team have appeared together publicly. Reports had also discussed the possibility of additional digital content involving the YouTuber.

However, no specific future MrBeast video or dedicated YouTube episode should be described as confirmed unless the makers or MrBeast officially announce it.

That distinction is important because speculation about a future collaboration circulated online before the Mumbai event.

Our Take

MrBeast's appearance at the Ramayana event gives the film's promotional campaign an unusual global-creator angle. The interaction with Ranbir Kapoor, particularly the “Jai Shree Ram” moment, is likely to attract attention well beyond conventional Bollywood coverage.

The larger significance of the event is the meeting of a major Indian film franchise with one of the world's most recognisable digital creators. Whether that develops into a larger content collaboration remains to be seen
