Sunny Deol to play Hanuman in Ranbir led 'Ramayana?

One of the most-talked projects, even before it hits planning stages for a while now, is the ambition that is being mounted on with Ramayana - by director Nitesh Tiwari.

With names dropping in every day and a little update being positive or negative being consistent, it is already a big talking point.

One knows that actor Ranbir Kapoor is possibly set to play Lord Rama, but now a recent report from a leading entertainment portal suggests that veteran Sunny Deol is being considered to play the pivotal role of Lord Hanuman. 

The report suggested that as Hanuman signifies strength, who would be better to portray that than the one and only Sunny Deol!

The actor has shown interest in being a part of Nitesh Tiwari’s rendition of Ramayana and is also excited to play the part of Lord Hanuman. However, it’s still early stages of discussion.

In fact, it was also being said that director Tiwari is seriously considering a standalone film with Deol as Hanuman as well, owing to how Hanuman, while pivotal, is a small part of Rama's story.

Finally, it is mentioned that Deol is 'seriously considering' to be a part of the project, but these reports cannot be confirmed.

While we know Kapoor is playing Lord Rama, it is being said that Sai Pallavi will play Sita and KGF fame Yash is in talks to play Lord Ravana. The project is slated to go on floors by mid-2024.

And talking about Deol, the man is riding on the gargantuan success of Gadar 2 and has already signed the likes of Baap, Soorya and Lahore, 1947 - the latter being a collaboration with Aamir Khan as a producer and Rajkumar Santoshi as the director.
