Sunny Deol confirms he has done little work on 'Ramayana'
Mumbai, July 18
Actor Sunny Deol, who will be seen essaying the role of Lord Hanuman in the upcoming epic 'Ramayana', has said that he had a very limited scope of work in whatever he has shot for in the upcoming film.
There have been media reports of the actor having a very limited part in the film. However, the epic is told in 2 parts. Hence, the actor's role will expand in the 2nd part of the film.
The actor attended a special event, Pratham Sankalp, for the film's trailer preview in the national capital on Saturday.
During the event, he said, "See, to tell you the truth, I have only started my work in this film. I have to move ahead. But 'Ramayana' is the biggest thing for us Indians. And I thank Waheguruji that I got the opportunity to play the role of Lord Hanuman. I will try my best to play the role of Lord Hanuman because it's not easy to play the role of Lord Hanuman. But it will be a lot of fun".
"He is naughty, innocent, powerful, and you all love him. And he is a devotee of Lord Ram. We need all your blessings because Namit has taken up such a big project. But I am sure that every Indian will definitely go and watch it. Thank you", he added.
Elsewhere in the event, Ranbir Kapoor was seen touching the feet of Sunny Deol and the Indian poet, Kumar Vishwas. Ranbir took to the stage and greeted Kumar Vishwas and the senior actor paying his respect to them.
The special event for 'Ramayana' was held in the national capital ahead of the film's trailer launch on July 24. The evening marked Pratham Sankalp, the ceremonial beginning of Ramayana's journey from Bharat to the World. Pratham Sankalp also marked the first public coming together of the principal cast of Ramayana, a landmark celebration that united generations of Indian cinema around one of India's greatest cultural legacies.

It's great to see such a massive production being taken seriously. But honestly, having Sunny Deol as Hanuman in a 'limited role' feels like a missed opportunity. The character deserves more screen time. Hope Part 2 does justice. The trailer event looks grand though!
"Waheguruji" - Sunny ji said it! That shows the secular spirit of India. Whether Hindu, Sikh, or any faith, Ramayana unites us all. And yes, every Indian will definitely go watch this. Can't wait for July 24 trailer launch! 🚀
While I'm excited as a fan of Indian mythology, I'm a bit concerned about the casting. Sunny Deol is a great action hero but Hanuman is more than just physical strength. His wisdom, humility, and devotion are key. Hope the director captures that essence. Still, wishing the team all the best! 🌟
Finally a proper big-budget Ramayana! But I wish they had cast someone younger for Hanuman. Sunny Deol at 67 might not have the agility for the role. Still, his dialogue delivery and screen presence are unmatched. Let's see what magic Namit Malhotra creates. Fingers crossed! 🤞
I appreciate the effort to bring Ramayana to global audiences. The Pratham Sankalp event sounds like a beautiful cultural ceremony. But I hope the film doesn't become just a visual spectacle. The soul of the epic lies in its values and teachings. Sunny Deol's comment about needing blessings shows the right humility though. 👍
