Is Bobby Deol Really Playing Kumbhakarna In Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana? Here's What We Know
Amid speculation, a source confirms Bobby Deol is not playing Kumbhakarna in Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash. The mythological epic is set for Diwali 2026. Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, continues to generate massive buzz as one of Indian cinema's most ambitious upcoming projects. The mythological epic, which recently dropped its first glimpse on July 3, 2025, has already sent fans into a frenzy, thanks to its powerful ensemble and stunning visual tone. The teaser confirmed that Ranbir Kapoor will take on the role of Lord Ram, with Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash playing the menacing Raavana. Joining them are Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman — all pivotal figures in the epic narrative. Amidst this excitement, reports surfaced claiming that Bobby Deol had been cast as Kumbhakarna, the slumbering giant and younger brother of Raavana. However, a reliable source has now clarified to Bollywood Hungama that the Animal actor is not part of the film. 'The reports are inaccurate. His name just cropped up all of a sudden," the source said. Emphasizing the need to distinguish between fact and speculation, the insider added, 'Ramayana is one of the most anticipated films of 2026. Given the scale of the project, casting speculations have been rife, but it is important to separate facts from rumours. Here's hoping all the speculation regarding Bobby Deol's involvement is put to rest soon." Produced on a massive scale, Ramayana is set to unfold in two parts. The first instalment will arrive on Diwali 2026, followed by Part 2 on Diwali 2027, promising a grand cinematic experience steeped in mythology, spectacle, and star power. Meanwhile, Bobby Deol, who was last seen in a cameo in Housefull 5, has an interesting line-up of upcoming projects.
