Sunny Deol to Play Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayan’ !

Mumbai: Actor Sunny Deol may play the role of lord Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming directorial venture ‘Ramayan’. According to sources, Sunny has been approached to play Hanuman in this movie and he has shown interest in doing the role. But nothing has been confirmed yet.

As per a Pinkvilla report, Sunny showed interest in playing Hanuman especially after he came to know that the makers were also planning to make a separate movie on Hanuman.

In Nitesh Kumar’s three-part Ramayana, Yash will be seen as Ravan, Ranbir as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita.

“Hanuman stands for strength and there’s no one better than Sunny Deol in the Indian film industry to justify what Bajrangbali stands for. The actor has shown interest in being a part of Nitesh Tiwari’s rendition of Ramayana and is also excited to play the part of Lord Hanuman. However, it’s still early stages of discussion,” Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying.

“The Ramayana is just a small part of Lord Hanuman’s life, and there are many other facets to the story. Nitesh wants to explore that with a standalone film on Lord Hanuman. Everything needs to fall in place – from the date of the shoot to the commitment for the franchise spin-offs and the financial structure,” the said source added.
