New Delhi: After Adipurush, another film on Ramayan is in the pipeline, which will be directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film is currently in its scripting stage. There have been various rumours about the casting of the film. Though there has been no official confirmation, it has been said that Ranbir Kapoor has been finalised for the role of Ram while Alia Bhatt will play Sita. The latest reports suggest that KGF star Yash has been undergoing a few look tests for the role of Ravan.
There is much chatter going around the film, and the audiences are eager to know who will headline the cast of the magnum opus. To clear the certain speculations going around the film regarding the casting, a source close to the film stated that no name has been finalized as of now, and the team is still working on the casting process.
As per the source, "Nitesh Tiwari, Madhu Mantena, and Namit Malhotra are working slowly and super steady towards the big project Ramayana. The makers are in no hurry and taking enough time before every step they finalize. There were speculations about Ranbir Kapoor which is true. But any actress has never been approached for any role in Ramayana, in fact, the film has not yet reached the stage where they offer Sita's role to anyone, nobody has been approached yet for the role of Sita. They are just working on Ravana and for that, Yash has undergone multiple look tests recently. The finalization of Yash is yet to be decided. The casting of Sita and Hanuman will take some time, a few months for sure. The makers do not want any stone unturned. They want to make a solid project and they are okay spending a few years for the same."
"Nitesh Tiwari took 2 years for Dangal as well. He is a dedicated director and takes his own time to finish the good product." Dangal was announced in Jan 2014 and released in Dec 2016,” the source added.
Earlier, during the promotion of his film 'Bawaal', director Nitesh spoke about Ramayana and said that he was sure his version of the epic mythology would not offend anyone. “My question is very simple. I am also a consumer of the content that I create, and if I’m not going to offend myself, then I’m very confident that I might not end up offending anybody else,” he told Zoom Entertainment.
