Nitesh Tiwari is reportedly gearing up for an exciting addition to his upcoming project, Ramayan, with a star-studded cast. According to a report, the director has already secured Ranbir Kapoor to play Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravan, and is now eyeing Vijay Sethupathi for a significant role.
