Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, is one of the most anticipated projects. The magnum opus has been making it to the headlines because of its cast and scale. Recently, Vikrant Massey shut down reports claiming he was to play the role of Meghanad in the film. And now, Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi has revealed that he is not a part of the film. Earlier reports suggested that the Farzi actor plays the role of Vibhishana in Ramayana.

According to Bollywood Hungama, Vijay Sethupathi dismissed the rumours while talking to senior journalist Subhash K Jha. Vijay said, “No, sir. I am not a part of this project. No clue where this is coming from.”
Earlier reports emerged suggesting Raghav Juyal had been roped in to play the role of Meghanad in the film, replacing Vikrant Massey, who was initially playoing the role. On Sunday, Vikrant took to social media to clarify, saying, "Ok. To put the rumours to rest. I never was a part of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayan. The many media portals reporting about my supposed 'replacement' should've done the requisite background check. Disappointing. Nonetheless, wishing everyone a part of the movie all the very best. Love (sic)."
