Raghav Juyal has been officially cast in Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated mythological epic, Ramayana, according to an exclusive report by Variety India. The actor will portray Meghanad, also known as Indrajit, the powerful firstborn son of Ravana and the rightful heir to the throne of Lanka.
Juyal steps into the role after Vikrant Massey, who was initially in discussions for the character, could not proceed due to scheduling conflicts or other commitments. Fans are excited about the casting change because Raghav Juyal has shown impressive acting skills in his recent performances.
Meghanad is one of the most powerful warriors in the Ramayana, who shows both his martial excellence and military strategy abilities. His character will become a central figure in Ramayana Part 2, scheduled for release on Diwali in 2027. The time will allow audiences to witness Juyal’s complete evolution into the legendary warrior-prince character.
The actor joins an extraordinary ensemble cast that reads like a who’s who of Indian cinema. Lord Ram will be played by Ranbir Kapoor, while Sai Pallavi will take on the role of Sita. The demon king Ravana will be portrayed by Kannada superstar Yash, and Sunny Deol will portray Hanuman.
The casting shows that Raghav Juyal has reached another important milestone in his career as an actor because he has been establishing himself as a serious performer. His major role in one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious projects after his critically praised performances in Kill and The Ba*ds of Bollywood shows that he is becoming a top star in the industry.
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana will achieve landmark status in Indian cinema because of its exceptional cast and its ambitious filmmaking plans.
