Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming Ramayana has generated immense buzz as one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. Adding to the excitement, Bollywood veteran Sunny Deol has officially confirmed his involvement in the project. While speculation suggested he might play the role of Lord Hanuman, Deol has yet to disclose his exact character. This confirmation follows actor Ranbir Kapoor's recent acknowledgement of his role in the epic as Lord Ram.

Sunny Deol Speaks About Ramayana

Sunny Deol, in a recent interview, shared insights into the grandeur of Ramayana. He said, 'Ramayana is a long project because they're trying to make it the way Avatar and Planet of the Apes movies were made. All those technicians are part of it. The writer and director are very clear about the way it has to be and how the characters should be presented.'

He further elaborated on the film's technical aspects, saying, 'You will also get to see the special effects that will make you believe that it (the events unfolding) has very genuinely happened rather than making one feel that these are special effects. To be honest, I'm very sure it's going to be great and I'm sure that everybody will love it.'

Deol's statements have heightened excitement for the film, which promises to be a blend of mythological storytelling and cutting-edge technology with spectacular visual effects.

Just to be a part of that story, I am so humbled to essay Ram's role. It's a dream for me. It's a film that has everything.
