On Saturday, Sunny took to Instagram to share his review of the film and urged every Hindustani to support it. He said, “I just watched Ramayana. I really, really liked it.

Sunny Deol as Hanuman

Meanwhile, the post credit scene opens with a powerful musical backdrop, as Hanuman makes his entry. While his face remains hidden, a wider shot towards the end shows him flying through the air with his gada as he hails Jai Shri Ram. The Hanuman Chalisa, sung by Diljit Dosanjh, Sukhwinder Singh, Mohit Chauhan, Kailash Kher and Anirudh Ravichander, plays in the background, adding to the impact of the moment. The makers have revealed just enough to build curiosity around Sunny's portrayal without giving away his complete look. Before Hanuman's appearance, the film also offers a glimpse of Raghav Juyal as Meghnada, Ravana's eldest son and the crown prince of Lanka.

Hanuman's arrival also marks a significant point in the Ramayana for the sequel which will arrive in 2028. He becomes one of the most important figures in Rama's journey after Ravana abducts Sita. From finding her in Lanka to helping Rama prepare for the war against Ravana, Hanuman plays a crucial role in the events that follow.
