The discussion about the cast of Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayan’ has intensified once again. It is well known that Ranbir Kapoor is playing the main role of Lord Ram in the epic film that will have one of the biggest budgets ever for an Indian film. Initially, Kapoor’s real life wife Alia Bhatt was rumoured to play Sita but talented actress Sai Pallavi later came under the scanner for the much coveted role.
Now if breaking news from Bollywood is to be believed there has been another big twist to the casting tale and Janhvi Kapoor is said to have replaced Sai Pallavi in the upcoming ‘Ramayan’. However, there is no official announcement of this news. According to the latest reports, pan-Indian star actor Vijay Sethupathi will play the role of Vibhishan with Sunny Deol in the role of Hanuman and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi.
Sources add that the pre-production of the film has started and principal photography of ‘Ramayan’ will commence in March and will be shot extensively on grand sets erected in Mumbai. Stay tuned for more hot updates from this mega film.
