Sources close to the actor revealed that playing the role of Lord Hanuman is a significant responsibility for Sunny Deol, leading him to decline other projects during the 'Ramayana' shoot. In preparation for the role, he intends to undergo a transformation to embody the character fully. This move is seen as a gesture of gratitude from Sunny Deol to Lord Hanuman for his success in the industry.
Interestingly, despite offers of up to Rs. 75 crores from other projects, Sunny's negotiation for the 'Ramayana' role is notably lower, underscoring the personal significance of the part to the actor.
