Sunny Deol’s Hanuman Gets a Massive Action Moment
Sunny Deol will portray Lord Hanuman in Ramayanam, alongside Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Among the many iconic moments in the epic, Lanka Dahan is one of the most visually powerful. The film reportedly plans to present Hanuman’s journey to Lanka and the burning of the golden city on an enormous cinematic scale. Reports have even described it as potentially one of the biggest fire sequences ever attempted in Indian cinema.

What has grabbed attention is the reported time invested in the sequence. Nearly two months of shooting went into bringing the Lanka Dahan portion to life. With extensive sets, action choreography, practical fire elements and cutting-edge VFX expected to come together, the sequence is being designed as a major visual spectacle rather than a conventional action scene. The makers are reportedly combining physical production with advanced visual effects to create the scale required for Lanka.

The ambition doesn’t stop with Lanka Dahan. Ramayanam has been mounted on a huge scale, with extensive pre-production and virtual planning reportedly done for its major sequences. The film’s visual team has worked on detailed pre-visualisation to map out shots before filming, helping the makers execute its massive world with greater precision.

While the makers have kept several details under wraps, Sunny Deol’s casting as Hanuman has already become one of the film’s biggest talking points. Now, with reports of a two-month Lanka Dahan shoot, expectations are soaring. If the final sequence lives up to the hype, Sunny Deol’s Hanuman could deliver one of the most explosive and visually ambitious moments in Ramayanam quite literally setting Lanka ablaze on the big screen.
