Actor Vijay Sethupathi is reportedly set to join the cast of director Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming mythological epic ‘Ramayana’, which already stars Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Yash in prominent roles. The film, currently in the pre-production phase, has been garnering significant attention for its casting choices and scale.

Vijay Sethupathi may play the role of Vibhishana

According to latest developments, Vijay Sethupathi has been approached to portray the character of Vibhishana, the younger brother of Ravana, who plays a crucial role in the Ramayana narrative. If confirmed, this would mark another major Bollywood project for the acclaimed Tamil actor, known for his versatility and strong screen presence.

Star-studded cast continues to grow

The film’s ensemble already includes Ranbir Kapoor in the role of Lord Rama and Kannada actor Yash reportedly set to appear as Ravana. With the addition of Vijay Sethupathi, the film aims to bring together prominent names from both Bollywood and the South Indian film industry, enhancing its pan-India appeal. Discussions for various other key roles, including Sita and Hanuman, are also ongoing.

‘Ramayana’, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and co-produced by several high-profile production houses, is expected to be a large-scale cinematic adaptation of the ancient Indian epic. The project has been in development for some time, with significant attention being paid to casting, visual effects, and script detailing in order to remain faithful to the source material while appealing to a modern audience.

Filming timeline and preparatory work

While the official production schedule has not been announced, pre-production activities are currently underway, with initial work reportedly beginning in Mumbai. Set construction, costume design, and visual concept work are in progress as the makers continue finalising the cast. The project is anticipated to enter the principal photography stage in the coming months.

Vijay Sethupathi’s expanding presence in Hindi cinema

If confirmed, this would not be Vijay Sethupathi’s first foray into Hindi cinema. He was recently seen in prominent roles in Hindi-language projects, gaining wider recognition across India. His potential portrayal of Vibhishana, a character known for his wisdom and righteousness, aligns with his reputation for selecting complex and layered roles.
