Kajal Aggarwal has been officially cast as Mandodari, the wife of Ravana, in director Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming cinematic adaptation of the epic Ramayana. She will star opposite actor Yash, who plays Ravana in the film.
This casting decision follows earlier speculation that actress Sakshi Tanwar might portray Mandodari; however, recent reports confirm Kajal’s involvement, and she has already commenced shooting her scenes.
The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Co-produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, the Ramayana is envisioned as a two-part cinematic saga, with the first installment slated for release during Diwali 2026, followed by the second in Diwali 2027.
Mandodari is revered in the epic as the wise and graceful queen of Lanka, known for her unwavering moral compass and inner strength. As the daughter of the demon king Mayasura and apsara Hema, she remains a voice of reason throughout Ravana’s descent, repeatedly urging him to return Sita and choose the path of righteousness.
With visual effects being handled by Oscar-winning studio DNEG, Tiwari’s Ramayana promises a visually spectacular retelling of the epic tale
