Sunny Deol's casting as Hanuman has generated a lot of buzz since he confirmed playing the character in the film.

With Kannada superstar Yash playing the menacing Raavan, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, and Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, the film boasts an impressive star cast.

Fans can anticipate a much larger presence in the sequel, despite Sunny Deol's reportedly brief role in the first instalment. In the second instalment, Hanuman's pivotal role in the fight against Raavan will take centre stage, providing Sunny with ample opportunity to shine.

The release dates have already been set by the makers of the film. Diwali 2026 will see the release of the first part of the Ramayana, while Diwali 2027 will see the release of the second part.
