One of Indian cinema’s most ambitious projects, Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, is rapidly becoming the talk of the town. The mythological epic, which dropped its first teaser on July 3, 2025, has captivated audiences with its breathtaking visuals and powerful ensemble.
Star-Studded Cast Brings Epic to Life
The teaser officially established Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash in a fiery makeover as Raavana. The movie also stars Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The casting has won across-the-board acclaim and expectations are now rising for how the iconic epic will be reimagined on the screen.
But recent rumors hinting that Bobby Deol would essay Kumbhakarna, Raavana’s brother, left everyone confused. A reliable source has now confirmed to Bollywood Hungama that Bobby is not involved with the film. “The rumors are unfounded. His name suddenly surfaced somewhere,” stated the insider.
Separating Fact from Rumor
The source urged fans to differentiate between speculation and confirmed news, saying, “Ramayana is one of the most anticipated films of 2026. Given its scale, casting rumors are inevitable. But let’s not jump to conclusions without official confirmation.” With excitement around the film growing by the day, it’s clear that every detail matters to eager fans.
