Sunny Deol set to bring Hanuman to life in new 'Ramayana' musical

Entertainment Dec 14, 2025

Sunny Deol, set to appear as Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming Ramayana films, is now being considered for a big-budget musical focused on the iconic character.
Backed by Namit Malhotra, this project promises a blend of mythology, pop opera, action, and even aerial combat choreography.

Why does this matter?

The musical is inspired by the writing of Hanuman's sequences in Ramayana—these scenes sparked the idea for this ambitious show.
Expect interconnected storylines, recurring characters, and some seriously epic visuals.
With VFX from Dune's creators (DNEG) and music by Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman in the Ramayana films, this could be a major moment for Indian pop culture—and for fans who love seeing classic stories reimagined with fresh energy.
