Ranbir Kapoor is set to portray Ram, with Sai Pallavi as Sita. Yash is likely to play Ravana, and Sunny Deol is reportedly confirmed as Hanuman. Bobby Deol and Vijay Sethupathi are in discussions for the roles of Kumbhakarna and Vibhishana, respectively. Arun Govil, known for his portrayal of Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana, will now portray King Dashrath. Lara Dutta will also appear as Kaikeyi. The film is reportedly scheduled for a Diwali 2025 release.

Ranbir Kapoor also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal as well as Animal Park in his kitty.
