Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana has been making headlines for a long time now. While it is no secret that Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the role of Ram in the film, it has now been reported that Sunny Deol is likely to turn Hanuman in the movie. As reported by Pinkvilla, the Gadar 2 actor is in talks with the makers of Ramayana for Hanuman’s role.
“Hanuman stands for strength and there’s no one better than Sunny Deol in the Indian Film Industry to justify what Bajrangbali stands for. 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,” a source cited by the entertainment portal claimed.
“Apart from being a part of the Ramayana trilogy, Nitesh Tiwari along with his producer partners, Allu Aravind, Madhu Mantena, and Namit Malhotra are also looking to make a standalone film on Lord Hanuman with Sunny Deol in the lead. The Ramayana is just a small part of Lord Hanuman’s life, and there are many other facets to the story. Nitesh wants to explore that with a standalone film on Lord Hanuman,” the source added.
The insider further claimed that Sunny Deol is ‘seriously considering’ to take up this project. However, News18 Showsha cannot vouch for the authenticity of the report.
While Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the role of Ram in this movie, Sai Pallavi has reportedly been roped in for the role of Sita. Earlier, Alia Bhatt was in talks for the role of Sita but she backed out earlier this year due to dates-related issues. Meanwhile, KGF star Yash is likely to play Ravana in the movie. However, there is no official announcement regarding this as of now.
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is likely to go on floors in mid-2024.
