The actor's first glimpse features in the post-credit scene of the film's first instalment, which arrived in theatres worldwide today. Although the makers have kept Sunny Deol's face hidden, his brief appearance has been enough to set social media abuzz. Several viewers have taken to X to share their reactions, with some claiming that his entry received louder cheers in theatres than the appearances of Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Rama, and Yash, who portrays Ravana.
The short sequence has quickly become one of the talking points surrounding the film, with fans eagerly looking forward to seeing more of Sunny Deol as Hanuman in the second part.
Sunny Deol's Hanuman entry in Ramayana: What happens in the post-credit scene?
The post-credit sequence introduces Hanuman through a dramatic build-up rather than revealing his face straight away. The scene begins with wild animals running through the jungle, hinting at the arrival of a powerful presence. Sunny Deol is then shown flying through the sky, while the chant of 'Jai Shri Ram' accompanies his appearance.
The makers have deliberately kept the actor's face out of the first glimpse, leaving audiences with a brief but striking introduction to the character. The sequence also features the Hanuman Chalisa, adding to the devotional atmosphere of the scene.
Five singers come together for Hanuman Chalisa in Ramayana
The Hanuman introduction also features a musical collaboration, with five popular singers coming together for the devotional track. Kailash Kher, Shankar Mahadevan, Diljit Dosanjh, Sukhwinder Singh and Mohit Chauhan have lent their voices to the Hanuman Chalisa in the film.
The brief glimpse has already triggered a wave of reactions on X, with fans praising Sunny Deol's casting and the way his character has been introduced.
One fan was particularly impressed by the combination of the actor's entry, the chant and the devotional track. The user wrote, "Sunny Deol's entry as Hanuman Ji, he says Jai Shri Ram and Hanuman Chalisa plays in the background. That's how peak peaks."
Another viewer described the reveal as a big surprise and praised Sunny Deol's screen presence. The post read, "BIG Surprise! @iamsunnydeol as LORD HANUMAN in the end credits of #Ramayana! And what an entry! The powerhouse performer brings his trademark energy to the divine character. Did this cameo give you GOOSEBUMPS?"

He will be most talking point in 2028 when #RamayanaPart2 arrives."
Another fan focused on the actor's physical appearance, saying his towering personality, muscular build and commanding screen presence made him a fitting choice for Lord Hanuman.
