Sunny Deol’s Hanuman saved for Part 2
Several fans speculated that the makers may be intentionally saving Hanuman’s full reveal for a later promotional campaign or for the film itself, keeping one of its biggest surprises under wraps. “I was expecting at least a glimpse of Sunny Deol as Hanuman, bt he wasn’t shown anywhere,” a fan commented, while still another said, “Minor disappointment Sunny Deol as Hanuman is entirely absent, and there was no sign of the Vanar Sena, perhaps they will appear in Part 2. Overall: The first impression is very powerful. Waiting until Diwali will be difficult.”According to producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari, ‘Ramayana: Part 1’ will end with a ‘Baahubali-style’ cliffhanger that will make fans excited to catch Part 2 on the big screen on Diwali 2027.
