According to reports, Ranbir Kapoor will play Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi will play Sita, and Yash will play Raavan in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. The Hindu epic will be released in theaters in the second half of 2025, and according to reports, Nitesh is scheduled to begin production on his film based on the epic in February or March of 2024. After wrapping filming a significant portion of his upcoming feature, Toxic, Yash will be joining the Ramayana team in July.

“The entire world of Ramayana has been created by Nitesh Tiwari and the National Award-Winning Filmmaker is all set to take the film on floors in March next year. The world of Ramayana has been designed by Oscar Winning VFX company, DNEG, who is also producing this epic. The makers intend to introduce a new technology of filmmaking with Ramayana, and the entire test run of the shoot has been conducted multiple times. Right from 3D scans to look tests all the aspects of pre-production have been concluded with the three leads – Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash,” a source close to the development told.

Part one features a lengthy cameo from KGF’s Yash, while part two will follow the development of his Raavan character. ‘Very conscious of what his fans demand’ was how Nitesh Tiwari portrayed Raavan in the Ramayana. Additionally, early in the upcoming year, Ranbir is anticipated to stop by the DNEG office in Los Angeles as part of the pre-production phase of Ramayana.

According to the source, Yash has a lengthy cameo in Ramayana: Part One, which focuses more on introducing Hanuman’s character and developing the story of Ram and Sita. The character development of Raavan will be followed in the second installment, and the actor is eager to explore Nitesh Tiwari’s fortunate realm. The images and the purity with which Nitesh plans to relate the Ramayana to the audience today completely won over Yash. In January 2024, a tech rehearsal is scheduled to occur in Los Angeles, and RK will spend a few weeks traveling to the US. Basically, it’s for pre-viz.

Ramayana: The directors have been in talks with actor Sunny Deol to play Hanuman in the first part of the trilogy, which is expected to be published in the second half of 2025.
