Did Vijay Sethupathi reject Vibhishana's role in Ramayana? Here's why?

Director Nitesh Tiwari is generating anticipation for his next film Ramayana, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sunny Deol, and others. 

It was rumored that Vijay Sethupathi was being considered for the role of Vibhishana, Ravana's younger brother and the monarch of Lanka. 

However, current sources say that Sethupathi declined the part, citing a desire to avoid playing villains in films. 

Pinkvilla stated that "Vijay was blown away by the narration and visuals planned and also expressed interest in the film."

Now it is reported that Harman Baweja is in talks to cast in his place.
