Sunny Deol confirms role in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana after Ranbir Kapoor

Sunny Deol has put an end to months of speculation by confirming his involvement in Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious two-part cinematic adaptation of the Ramayana.

Speaking at SCREEN Live in Mumbai, the Gadar 2 star revealed details about the highly anticipated project, describing it as a long-term venture aimed at redefining Indian cinema with cutting-edge technology.

Sunny Deol’s announcement comes shortly after Ranbir Kapoor confirmed his role as Ram in the project during the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah.

Ranbir shared that he had completed filming for the first part of the franchise and would soon begin work on the second.

Given the backlash faced by Om Raut’s Adipurush for its subpar VFX, Sunny Deol explained that Tiwari’s Ramayanawould stand out for its realism and high-quality special effects.

The two-part franchise boasts a stellar cast, with Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Ravi Dubey has confirmed his role as Lakshman, while Kannada superstar Yash will portray Ravan.

The project is being spearheaded by director Nitesh Tiwari, known for his blockbuster Dangal, and producer Namit Malhotra, who has shared his vision to bring this 5,000-year-old epic to life on the big screen.
