Ranbir Kapoor will play Ram in this film, while Sai Pallavi has been cast as Sita. Previously, Alia Bhatt was in discussions for the part of Sita, but she dropped out owing to scheduling conflicts.

Bobby Deol and Vijay Sethupathi are allegedly in negotiations for the parts of Kumbhakarna and Vibhashana, respectively.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Ranbir will also receive voice and diction training for the film. “Ranbir has a certain baritone and a way of speaking his lines. It is symbolic and if you have even closed your eyes, you can recognise a dialogue purely based on Ranbir’s voice. In ‘Ramayana’, Nitesh wants to make sure Ranbir sounds different from the characters he’s played in the past. Being a versatile actor, Ranbir is enjoying this process of trying something new,” a source cited by India Today claimed.
