Ranbir Kapoor recently shared that the much-awaited movie ‘Ramayana’ by Nitesh Tiwari will have two parts. Now, actor Sunny Deol, who was rumored to be a part of the movie, has confirmed his role in the film.
In a recent interview with Indian Express, Sunny confirmed that the makers are planning to make ‘Ramayana’ a big project similar to how ‘Avatar’ and ‘Planet of the Apes’ were executed in Hollywood. “All those technicians are a part of it. The writer and director are very clear about the way it has to be and how the characters should be presented,” the actor stated.
Recent big-budget films, such as Om Raut’s ‘Adipurush’ starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, have faced criticism for subpar visual effects despite drawing inspiration from epic tales like the ‘Ramayana’. Addressing concerns, Sunny assured audiences that Nitesh’s project will deliver a visually stunning experience. According to him, the special effects will feel authentic, making the events on screen appear genuinely real rather than fabricated. “I’m very sure it’s going to be great, and I’m sure that everybody will love it,” he stated. Although speculations hint at him portraying Hanuman, Sunny refrained from confirming his role.
