Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming Ramayan adaptation has generated a lot of buzz, with fans eager to see him portray the iconic role of Lord Rama. The film is expected to be a grand spectacle, with a massive budget and a star-studded cast. While Ranbir Kapoor's casting as Lord Rama has created a huge buzz, fans are equally curious about who will join him in this epic tale.

The excitement around Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayan just got a major boost! Sunny Deol, at the News18's Rising Bharat Summit 2025, confirmed he'll be playing Hanuman in the film. This news is sure to send fans into a frenzy!

Sunny Deol told us, “I am working in Ramayan as Hanuman, yes that is true."

Kon bhagwan mein nhi manta? Hum hai bhagwan k vajh se hai. (Who doesn’t believe in God? We are here because of him)

Following his Hanuman confirmation, Sunny Deol was asked about the challenges he faced when first offered the role. To this, Deol sportingly said, “For actors, we love challenging things because its fun. We have to nail the character and listen to our director. I immerse myself into my character so that people believe in it. I have not started shooting yet but it will be one of the most mega films."

Get ready for an epic cinematic journey! Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is officially in production, with a two-part release planned for 2026 and 2027. The first poster, a fiery arrow against a blazing sky, promises a visually stunning retelling of the beloved tale.

The casting is equally exciting! Sai Pallavi will portray Sita, while Yash has confirmed his role as the mighty Ravana. Joining them are Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Sheeba Chaddha as Manthara. A leaked image of Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi in costume earlier this year sent fans into a frenzy, further amplifying the anticipation for this ambitious project.

With its grand scale and star-studded cast, Ramayana is poised to be one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema history.
