Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film based on Ramayana has been creating headlines since last week, even though, there has been no official announcement from the makers of the project yet. There were several reports that stated that KGF star Yash was approached to play one of the crucial roles in the film that also co-stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Then later reports claimed that Yash had opted out of the project. Turns out the reports are false.
As per an internal independent industry source, "The reports of Yash not doing Ramayana are absolutely baseless. Please wait for one of the biggest casting coups to be announced when the Ramayana team officially does it."
Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, who has in the past made hit films like Dangal and Chhichhore, the film has reportedly roped in Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Yash. Buzz is that Ranbir and Alia will play Ram and Sita while Yash will play Ravana in the film.
Sources now have urged fans to wait for the official announcement of the project. The makers will officially announce the cast which is believed to be the biggest casting coup in the history of Indian cinema.
Producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari are working day and night to make this magnum opus come to the big screens in a way that justifies the mega-scale of this extravagant project.
With Ramayana, producer Namit Malhotra is all set to bring the biggest film that Indian cinema has ever seen. The best of Industry professionals, a grand VFX team, the biggest cast, and mega sets are in the formation to build the world of Ramayana that has never been seen on the big screen before.
Incidentally, this week's big Bollywood release Adipurush starring Paras, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan is also based on the Hindu epic.
