Taking to his Instagram handle, the Taal director shared a poster of Ramayana and penned a long note in the caption, congratulating Nitesh Tiwari, producer Namit Malhotra and the Ramayana team. Apart from Yash, Ghai also mentioned Sunny Deol in his now-viral post. There were speculations that Deol had been offered the role of Lord Hanuman in Ramayana. Now, with Ghai mentioning his name in the post, it is confirmed that the Gadar 2 star will most certainly be part of the magnum opus. He started his note by writing, "Finally one producer has done it in Mumbai. My hearty congratulations to dear Namit Malhotra for launching a Hindi mega scale motion picture #RAMAYAN “with his honest desire to showcase the epic tale of Hindu mythology of India to the rest of world internationally Wow."

He continued that the film will put our nation on the "highest pedestal" in the world’s perspectives. he concluded by writing these words, "Congratulations to our talented and blessed director Nitish Tiwari, Ranbir Kapoor, Sunny Deol, Yash and the entire team". However, Ghai didn't mention Sai Pallavi which leaves us wondering whether she is part of the film or not.

As informed earlier, reports have been rife that Yash has been roped in Ramayana opposite Ranbir, while Sunny Deol is a key character - Lord Hanuman. However, we will have to wait for the official confirmation, which is expected on Ram Navami (April 17).
