Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, and Sunny Deol. As it becomes one of the most anticipated films of the coming year, a video from the sets of Ramayana is going viral.
Ramayana will see Ranbir Kapoor play the role of Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita, Yash as Ranavan, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman. The film has already hit the floors and is aiming to release on Diwali 2025.
Now, a video of the
Grand Ayodhya sets is surfacing on the internet as actress Akruti Singh shares the first glimpse of the film's shooting.

It is symbolic, and if you have even closed your eyes, you can recognize a dialogue purely based on Ranbir's voice. In 'Ramayana', Nitesh wants to make sure Ranbir sounds different from the characters he's played in the past. Being a versatile actor, Ranbir is enjoying this process of trying something new.'
The actor also did a look test with Nitesh Tiwari. The director doesn't want the actor to gain muscle for his role as Lord Ram. He wants Ranbir to be rather lean.
Ramayana will likely release on Diwali 2025. However, there is no official comment or confirmation regarding the same.
