Rakul Preet Singh joined the star-studded line-up at Pratham Sankalp, the grand pre-launch event held in Delhi ahead of the global trailer premiere of ' Ramayana : Part 1'. Staying true to the cultural significance of the occasion, the actor chose a striking yellow Kanjivaram silk saree from homegrown label Kankatala, paired with heirloom-inspired jewellery and understated beauty. Worth Rs 49,144, the six-yard drape perfectly balanced heritage, sophistication and contemporary styling.
What did Rakul Preet Singh wear?For the occasion, Rakul was styled by Ami Patel in a single-tone golden yellow checkered Kanjivaram saree from homegrown label Kankatala. The silk saree's body is done up in gold and silver zari checks that lend it a subtle shimmer, while a self gold zari brocade border featuring peacock and elephant motifs set within floral vines runs through the drape. The pallu mirrors the same intricate detailing, keeping the design cohesive from end to end. It was paired with a coordinated plain blouse finished with zari borders.
The saree, sourced from Kankatala's collection, is priced at Rs 49,144.
Rakul completed the look with jewellery from Shri Paramani Jewels, opting for a coordinated set of earrings, a necklace, a waist belt, bangles and an ear chain. Her blouse came from the label Nafs.
On the glam front, the actress kept things minimal with nude pink lips, softly lined eyes, groomed brows and a light flush on the cheeks. Her hair was styled in soft waves with a centre parting, swept into a half updo, a choice that let her ear chain take centre stage.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, 'Ramayana' is produced by Namit Malhotra. Planned as a two-part cinematic adaptation of the ancient epic, the film traces Rama's journey from prince of Ayodhya through his years in exile to his battle against Ravana. The cast features Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, with music composed by Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman.
The film's official trailer is set to premiere globally on July 24, 2026, while 'Ramayana: Part 1' is scheduled for a theatrical release during Diwali 2026, with the second part expected to follow during Diwali 2027.
