Jaideep Ahlawat declined offer to play Vibhishan in Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana due to date clash with Yash: ‘Ravan ki dates mujh se zyada important hogi'
Jaideep Ahlawat has made a mark in the film industry and has earned a loyal fanbase with a string of solid performances. While fans can't wait to see him next on the big screen, in a recent interaction, the Paatal Lok actor admitted that he had turned down a role in the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Ramayana. Speaking to The Lallantop, Jaideep shared that he was indeed offered the role of Vibhishan in the film. Revealing the reason behind denying the role, he said, 'Offer hua tha. Par woh timing match nahi ho rahi thi (The role was offered to me, but the timings did not match).' Jaideep said that since Vibhishan is Ravan's younger brother, the makers needed someone whose dates matched with KGF star Yash, who is playing the role of Ravan in the film. Jaideep pointed out that for them, Yash's dates were more 'important' than his own. He shared, 'Unko ek particular timing chahiye tha kyunki Vibhishan ke saath Ravan ka hona zaroori hain… toh do actors ke dates ke saath match hona tha. I'm sure Ravan ki dates mujh se zyada important hogi (They wanted a particular timing for the two actors who would be playing Vibhishan and Ravan, which did not happen. I am sure the dates of the actor playing Ravan are more important).' Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is one of Hindi cinema's most-anticipated films. The film was officially announced in 2024. It stars Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi in the roles of Ram and Sita, respectively. Yash plays the character of Ravan.
