Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi's much-anticipated mythological drama Ramayana has been grabbing headlines for quite some time. With several Bollywood biggies joining the cast in different roles, it was earlier reported that Jaideep Ahlawat was also among the many actors Nitesh Tiwari wanted to bring on board. However, a source close to Jaideep informed Mid-day that the news is false and no such conversation ever took place.
Earlier, an ETimes report claimed that Jaideep was quite interested in coming on board with Ranbir, Sai, Sunny Deol, and others for the role of Vibhishan in the magnum opus. However, due to scheduling conflicts and prior professional commitments, Jaideep was said to have declined the offer.
