However, recent speculation about his involvement in Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious project, ‘Ramayana,’ has been officially put to rest. As per reports in Hindustan Times, Bobby’s spokesperson confirmed that the actor is not a part of ‘Ramayana,’ clearing the air surrounding earlier rumors that suggested his casting in a pivotal role.

He feels Lara Dutta is perfect to play the part of Princess Kaikeyi, the third consort of King Dasharatha. It’s a pivotal character that leads to the entire conflict in Ramayana, and Lara is excited to enter the fantastical world of Nitesh Tiwari.”
As for Bobby, although he won’t be a part of ‘Ramayana,’ his fans can look forward to his other upcoming projects.
