The internet user went on to say that Ramayana will hit theaters in the middle of 2024, according to Ranbir Kapoor. “Woah, this blew up! Everyone asking, he said ‘Ramayana,’ goes on floor early summers. Not sure I should divulge anything more than that, but the star cast is frickin’ crazy… wow, #Bollywood is really taking it to the next level starting 2023,” the user stated on another post. It was previously reported that Ramayan's filming was scheduled to start in December of this year.

In this next film, Sai Pallavi has been cast as Sita, while Ranbir Kapoor will portray the part of Ram. Prior to this, Alia Bhatt was in negotiations to play Sita, but she withdrew because of scheduling conflicts. In the meantime, Yash, the KGF actor, will probably play Ravana in the film. As per the popular news portal's sources in October of this year, Sunny Deol is most likely to play Hanuman in the film. However, as of right now, no formal announcement has been made about this.
