Ranbir Kapoor’s Rs 78 Lakh Watch Steals Ramayana Launch

At the international trailer launch of Ramayana: Rise of a Legend in Bengaluru, Ranbir Kapoor’s sharp tailoring had competition from his wrist. The actor wore the Jacob & Co. Epic X Ram Janmabhoomi Rose Gold Special Edition, a timepiece priced at Rs 78 lakh. Within moments, the watch became the detail fans and fashion watchers wanted to talk about.

At a launch built around a story so deeply rooted in mythology, the watch did more than sparkle. It gave the pre-release moment an instant, shareable visual cue – one that fans could dissect before the conversation moved to the footage itself.

Why the wristwatch stole the show

This is not a quiet luxury piece. The Ram Janmabhoomi edition carries detailed motifs that turn the dial into a devotional tableau: the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Lord Rama with his bow and Lord Hanuman. It belongs to Jacob & Co.’s Epic X line, which is known for sculpted cases and lattice-style detailing.

The watch pairs a rose gold case with an orange strap and a matching rose gold pin buckle, so the bright accent is as deliberate as the temple imagery. That mix of modern watchmaking and religious symbolism made it more than an accessory at a film launch.

The launch it was made for

The Bengaluru event brought the film’s cast and crew on stage, including Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, Yash and Rakul Preet Singh. Director Nitesh Tiwari, producer Namit Malhotra and composer AR Rahman were also part of the evening.

The film, Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash. It is scheduled to release on November 5, 2026.

Why it matters for filmi fans

A star’s accessory is rarely just an accessory at these events. By choosing a watch linked to the Ram Janmabhoomi, Ranbir carried the film’s devotional theme onto his wrist, which keeps the conversation on the project before the trailer itself dominates. It also shows how big-ticket Indian cinema is being positioned as a cultural event rather than only a big-budget spectacle.

For Bollywood followers, the choice marks a shift toward themed dressing at promotional stops: rather than letting the trailer carry the story alone, stars are aligning their fashion with the film’s world. That gives each launch an extra visual cue that social media can circulate before and after the event.
