Thanks to its outstanding casting, Nitesh Tiwari's masterpiece, Ramayana is currently the talk of the town. In the latest development, an ETimes report claims that Harman Baweja will most likely essay the role of Vibhishan in Ramayana. Earlier, there were rumours that Tamil actor-producer Vijay Sethupathi would play the part of Ravana’s younger brother; however, the report has put all speculation to rest.

It turns out that Vijay Sethupathi will no longer be a part of Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana as Vibhishan since Harman Baweja will be taking over the role. Harman, who was on a hiatus from acting, returned with the OTT series Scoop, in which he co-starred with Hansal Mehta and Karishma Tanna. Audiences were impressed with his role, and if rumours are confirmed, it will be exciting to watch Harman transform into Vibhishan. But we're still waiting for an official confirmation.
