The anticipation surrounding Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayan’ is reaching fever pitch. With speculations rife about the roles actors will portray in the film, the casting of the top three actors has been unveiled. Ranbir Kapoor is set to play Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi will grace the screen as Sita and Yash will take on the role of Ravana. Additionally, there are talks of Sunny Deol’s confirmed involvement, possibly in the character of Hanuman. And now, the latest update adds another layer of excitement as Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan is set to make an entry into the film.
A crucial role for Amitabh
Amitabh Bachchan reunites with Ranbir Kapoor once again, having previously worked together. According to reports from Zoom, Bachchan will portray King Dasharatha in ‘Ramayan.’ The film’s team has finalized casting for another pivotal role. Big B had previously been offered the role of Dasharatha in Sanjay Khan’s project, ‘The Legend of Ram,’ which unfortunately never materialized.
Commencing shooting next month
‘Ramayan’ is slated to kick off filming from next month, starting with sequences featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi. Yash is expected to join them in the subsequent schedule. Kapoor has already begun preparations for his role, focusing on perfecting his delivery and enunciation. Reportedly, in preparation for stepping into the shoes of Lord Rama, he has made adjustments to his diet and lifestyle, abstaining from meat and alcohol.
Recent Films Inspired by Ramayan
The epic tale of Ramayan has inspired recent cinematic endeavors. Previously, Om Raut’s ‘Adipurush’ was released, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. However, the film faced significant trolling on social media and performed poorly at the box office. Following ‘Adipurush,’ Teja Sajja’s ‘Hanuman’ hit theaters, garnering immense praise and setting multiple box office records despite its modest budget.
