Ranbir was last seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, which turned out to be a blockbuster. He will reprise his role in the sequel, Animal Park. 

Coming back to Ramayana, rumours are rife that Sai Pallavi will play Goddess Sita and Yash will portray Ravana in the film. Some reports also suggest that Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol are being considered for the roles of Lord Hanuman and Kumbhkaran, respectively. Moreover, speculations surrounding Vijay Sethupathi being considered for the role of Vibhishan have sparked excitement among cinephiles.
