Vikrant Massey was rumoured to play Meghanad in Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana, but reportedly didn’t join the project, with Raghav Juyal stepping in for Ramayana: Part 2. Later, on Saturday, Vikrant called out a media portal for “irresponsible” coverage on Instagram, clarifying he was never part of the film, though he later deleted the story for unknown reasons.
Actor Vikrant Massey was earlier rumoured to be part of the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Ramayana, where he was reportedly set to play Meghanad (also called Indrajit), the eldest son of Ravana and crown prince of Lanka. However, things apparently did not work out, and the makers brought Raghav Juyal on board to replace Massey. According to Variety India, Juyal will feature in Ramayana: Part 2, which is scheduled for a Diwali 2027 release.
Vikrant Massey On Raghav Juyal Replacing Him In Ramayana
Amid the reports, Vikrant reacted to the news of Raghav supposedly replacing him and lashed out at the media portal Pinkvilla for publishing the story. He shared a clarification on his Instagram story, stating that he was never a part of the movie.
On Saturday, February 7, Vikrant wrote, “OK. To put things to rest, I was never a part of this movie. Am not, never was. Such irresponsible media coverage from “respectable” media houses is kinda appalling. Nonetheless, wishing everyone on Ramayana all the very best. Will surely buy a ticket and watch it in cinemas.”
