Faisal Malik, known for his role in Panchayat, has reportedly been cast as Kumbhakarna in Nitesh Tiwari's two-part mythological epic Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Yash as Ravana. Malik has completed the first shooting schedule, including an introductory scene with Yash, featuring extensive visual effects.

The film's first look release has been delayed due to the Middle East crisis, and official confirmation of Malik's casting is pending.
