Kajal Out, Mrunal In: Shocking Casting Twist Rocks Bollywood’s Ramayana Project

The much-awaited Bollywood project Ramayana is making huge waves as it brings epic characters to life. In this film, Yash is cast as the demon king Ravana, Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, and Sai Pallavi steps into the role of Sita. Earlier, reports suggested that Kajal Aggarwal would play Mandodari, the wife of Ravana.

Kajal Aggarwal reportedly dropped from Ramayana

Recent buzz from Bollywood insiders claims that Kajal Aggarwal has been removed from the project. Instead, actress Mrunal Thakur is said to have replaced her in the role of Mandodari. The big question is—what led to this sudden change?

Social media backlash sparks controversy

Many fans and social media users questioned Kajal’s casting, wondering why Ravana (Yash) would go near Mandodari (Kajal) when Sai Pallavi is playing Sita. Harsh comments and trolling flooded platforms, with some viewers calling it a “wrong selection.” Discussions quickly heated up, with some demanding either Sai Pallavi be replaced or Kajal be dropped from the film.

From trending hashtags to viral rumors

Before Kajal was cast, the film’s hashtags were trending strongly, and Sai Pallavi was receiving praise. But after Kajal’s announcement as Mandodari, negativity increased sharply. This reportedly led the makers to reconsider and bring in Mrunal Thakur instead.

Though the truth behind these reports remains unclear, the news about Kajal’s exit and Mrunal’s entry is spreading rapidly on social media, adding more drama to the highly anticipated Ramayana film.
