Ramayana: Part 1 has saved one of its major reveals for the closing moments, introducing Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman in a post-credit sequence. The scene offers a first glimpse of the revered character while setting up his important role in the sequel. Adding to the devotional impact is a new rendition of the Hanuman Chalisa featuring Diljit Dosanjh and other prominent singers.
Released in theatres on November 5, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the first instalment focuses on the events leading up to Sita’s abduction, leaving Hanuman’s arrival as a key bridge to the next chapter.
Sunny Deol’s Hanuman Makes a Dramatic Entry
The post-credit sequence introduces Hanuman through a dramatic visual rather than revealing Sunny Deol’s complete look. The character is shown flying through the sky, with his face kept largely hidden. The moment features Hanuman chanting “Jai Shri Ram,” offering audiences a brief but powerful preview of the actor’s portrayal.
The reveal is designed to build anticipation for Ramayana Part 2, where Hanuman is expected to play a central role in Rama’s search for Sita and the battle against Ravana. His introduction at the end of Part 1 also signals the story’s shift towards the next major phase of the epic.
Diljit Dosanjh Lends His Voice to Hanuman Chalisa
The sequence is accompanied by a new rendition of the Hanuman Chalisa, with Diljit Dosanjh among the singers lending their voices to the devotional track. The musical presentation adds emotional weight to Hanuman’s arrival and continues through the film’s closing credits.
The makers have also released the Hanuman Chalisa music video, allowing audiences to revisit the devotional track beyond the theatrical experience. The collaboration brings together singers from different musical backgrounds for a rendition connected to one of the film’s most anticipated character reveals.
What the Scene Means for Ramayana Part 2
Hanuman’s arrival is significant to the larger narrative of the Ramayana. After Ravana abducts Sita, Hanuman becomes instrumental in locating her in Lanka and supporting Rama’s mission. His introduction in the first film therefore lays the groundwork for the events expected to unfold in the sequel.
Ramayana Part 2 is currently scheduled for 2028. The makers have used the post-credit sequence to tease Sunny Deol’s character while keeping his full appearance under wraps.
For viewers, the scene offers an additional reason to stay through the credits. It is both a devotional moment and a story setup, connecting the first film’s conclusion to the larger conflict that awaits in the next instalment.
