Bollywood has quite a lot of releases coming up that will be based on the Indian epic – Ramayana….
Be it Prabhas-Saif’s ‘Adipurush’ or Madhu Mantena’s Ramayana 3D…. And now yet another version of Ramayan is in the making, this time from the Baahubali writer!
Titled ‘SITA- The Incarnation’, the movie will have Writer KV Vijayendra Prasad conceptualising Ramayana from Sita’s perspective. Director Alaukik Desai will be helming the project.
As per earlier reports, it was speculated that Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt were in the running for the titular role of Sita. However, KV Vijayendra Prasad had dismissed the rumours by telling Midday – “I don’t think any actor has been approached for Sita’s role, to my knowledge. We have just started writing the script. Once done, we will search for a young actor to play the title role. The film will have considerable footage of a young Sita, showcasing her life before marriage to Ram.”
Now, Bollywood Hungama has reported that Ranveer Singh has been approached to play Ravana.
“Sita will be mounted on a huge scale and the magnitude of the film will be as big as a Baahubali. While it’s a toss-up between Kareena and Alia for the main role, the makers (director Alaukik Desai) have approached Ranveer Singh to play Ravana. Yes, if this happens, it might be the first ever film that Ranveer and Kareena will be doing together. They were supposed to do Ram Leela but it didn’t work out. From what we know, both Bebo and Ranveer have loved their parts and are waiting for the final narration to give a go ahead to the project.”
Let’s see if this report ends up getting confirmed or dismissed! Also interestingly enough, Alia is already playing a character named ‘Sita’ in RRR.
