Amitabh Bachchan in Ramayana As Who Exactly?

The excitement around Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, just got more interesting with talk of Amitabh Bachchan joining the project. After leaving a strong mark as Ashwatthama in Kalki 2898 AD, Big B is now rumored to be lending his voice to the character of Jatayu, the legendary vulture who tries to save Sita. While there’s no official confirmation yet, the possibility alone is enough to get audiences curious.

The film’s casting has already made headlines, Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. Casting director Mukesh Chhabra had earlier mentioned that Ranbir’s calm presence was the reason he was chosen. According to him, the role didn’t need grandeur but quiet strength, something he believes Ranbir naturally carries. His comments have resurfaced, adding to the ongoing conversation about the film’s choices.

Yash taking on Ravana is being widely talked about, not just as a bold choice, but as one that’s being appreciated even before release. The director openly praised the casting and said that it's rare to see a villain being celebrated with so much excitement. Yash replied with thanks and said Ramayana is like a poem that goes beyond regular emotions, keeping everything simple yet respectful.

The film is being made in two parts, with the first part releasing on Diwali 2026 and the second in 2027. The budget is huge, ₹1600 crore, and naturally, expectations are also sky-high. If Amitabh Bachchan really becomes part of the voice cast, even for a small role, it will add more strength to this already grand film. Right now, this mystery is keeping fans hooked, and maybe that’s the plan.
