Ramayana Cast: Vikrant Massey addressed rumours about his role in the upcoming epic Ramayana. Earlier reports suggested that Massey was set to play Meghanad (also called Indrajit), the eldest son of Ravana, in the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer.
However, Variety India later reported that Raghav Juyal would replace him in Ramayana Part 2, scheduled for Diwali 2027.
Vikrant Massey Clarifies the Rumours
Amid the speculation, Vikrant took to Instagram to clear the air. On Saturday, February 7, he wrote, “OK. To put things to rest, I was never a part of this movie. Am not, never was. Such irresponsible media coverage from ‘respectable’ media houses is kinda appalling. Nonetheless, wishing everyone on Ramayana all the very best. Will surely buy a ticket and watch it in cinemas.”
Interestingly, Vikrant Massey deleted the post shortly after, leaving fans curious. The news quickly went viral on social media, sparking debates on Reddit. Some users expressed disappointment, while others questioned his career choices.

Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Ram and may portray multiple avatars of Vishnu, including Maharishi Parashurama, in dual or triple roles.

The ensemble cast includes Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Kannada superstar Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Arun Govil as King Dasharatha, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.

Behind the scenes, Ramayana aims for global standards with visual effects by Oscar-winning studio DNEG. The musical score is a collaboration between A.R. Rahman and Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer, who is making his Indian debut. Producer Namit Malhotra emphasised the use of advanced motion capture technology to deliver a faithful yet visually revolutionary retelling of the epic.
