Bollywood actor Sunny Deol has officially confirmed the rumors that he will be portraying Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming Ramayana. He will star alongside Ranbir Kapoor, who will play the role of Lord Ram.
During a conversation with News18, Sunny Deol said, “I am working in Ramayan as Hanuman. Yes, that is true.” When asked about his faith, he responded, “Kaun bhagwan mein nahin maanta? Hum hain bhagwan ke wajah se hain.”
When asked if he found the role of Hanuman challenging when first offered the script, Sunny Deol replied enthusiastically, “For actors, we love challenging things because it’s 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.”
Announced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana will be released in two parts — Part One is scheduled for 2026, with Part Two following in 2027.
The casting for Ramayana is generating a lot of buzz! The film will see Sai Pallavi play Sita, while Yash has confirmed his role as the powerful Ravana. The ensemble also includes Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, and Sheeba Chaddha as Manthara.
