Vivek Oberoi joins Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana and will fight Yash? Everything you need to know

The cast of 'Rockstar' Ranbir Kapoor-Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana continues to grow. The latest speculation is that Vivek Oberoi is a part of Nitesh Tiwari's film, and could be filming his scenes with Yash already! The actor's role and further details were revealed in a recent report. Here's everything we know about it so far...

Vivek Oberoi joins Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana

Vivek Oberoi has joined Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, if latest reports on Pinkvilla are anything to go by. The actor is speculated to be playing the role of Vidyutjihva, a demon prince from the daitya clan and the husband of Surpanakha, played by Rakul Preet Singh.

Vivek Oberoi vs Yash?

Vivek Oberoi is expected to battle Yash (Gajakesari)'s demon king Ravana in the movie. From what we hear, the filming has either commenced or is supposed to begin soon. As for the movie itself, it is reported that the filming for the first installment has wrapped and the second installment (Ramayana Part 2) has gone on floors. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor in the role of Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita. Sunny Deol (Gadar 2) is reported to play Lord Hanuman, while Ravi Dubey has been roped in as Lord Laxman.

Anil Kapoor and Vikrant Massey also in Ramayana?

Interestingly, there were speculations that Anil Kapoor and Vikrant Massey are also a part of Ramayana. However, a source dismissed the rumours of them being roped in for the roles of King Janaka and Prince Meghnad in the movie. Both Anil Kapoor and Vikrant Massey have been making headlines for their other projects. While Anil is a part of Hansal Mehta's Netflix film with Vijay Varma, Vikrant is prepping for Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's biopic, White. The actor is also making headlines for Dostana 2 and of course, Shanaya Kapoor's debut film, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Thus, it is likely that the actors might indeed not be working on the project altogether.
