The rumoured casting of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt as Lord Ram and Sita in the upcoming movie Ramayana has sparked a wave of mixed reactions among fans. The collaboration between Alia Bhatt and director Nitesh Tiwari was reportedly being discussed during their recent meeting outside an office. While producers Nitesh Tiwari, Madhu Mantena, and Namit Malhotra are expected to make a formal announcement about Ramayana on Diwali 2023, fans have expressed their concerns about the potential overdose of this epic tale on the big screen. Additionally, the anticipation for Om Raut’s Adipurush, featuring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, has further fueled the debate surrounding Ramayana.
Fans Express Disappointment Over Rumoured Casting Change
The news of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s involvement in Ramayana has generated significant buzz on the online platform Reddit. Fans have taken to the forum to express their disappointment and speculate about a potential casting change. Many wonder if the talented Sai Pallavi was initially considered for the role, as there were previous rumors of her collaboration with Ranbir Kapoor.

Ranbir Kapoor Prepares for the Role of Lord Ram
Ranbir Kapoor, in his pursuit of perfection, is reportedly visiting the DNEG office to oversee the pre-visualization process of Ramayana. Once the look of Lord Ram is finalized, the actor will undergo a physical transformation to bring the character to life. Known for his dedication, Kapoor is committed to achieving the right physique for every film he takes on. However, there is skepticism among fans due to the previous chemistry between Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra Part One Shiva, which received criticism and became a subject of online trolls. Fans question the casting decision, expressing their preference for other actors and raising concerns about Bollywood’s repeated attempts to adapt and potentially distort the Ramayana story.

However, it is important to note that no official confirmation has been made regarding his involvement. Discussions between the makers and Yash are currently underway, while the actor continues to make interesting choices in his career. Furthermore, Ranbir Kapoor fans eagerly await his upcoming film Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and featuring Rashmika Mandanna as the leading lady.
The rumoured casting of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt for the roles of Lord Ram and Sita in Ramayana has received a mixed response from fans. While some express disappointment over the absence of Sai Pallavi, others have reservations about the chemistry between Kapoor and Bhatt.
