Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s mega epic Ramayana just gave fans their biggest update yet. At a special event, “Pratham Sankalp,” held at New Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam, the makers unveiled a 4-minute trailer along with a comic book confirming every major casting — and it finally settles who’s voicing Jatayu.
Contrary to widespread rumors that Amitabh Bachchan would voice the mythical bird-king, it’s veteran actor Anupam Kher who has landed the role. Director Nitesh Tiwari also teased that the Jatayu-Ravana battle will be one of the film’s most thrilling sequences on screen.
