Ranbir Kapoor is set to play the iconic role of Lord Rama in a film based on the epic Ramayana. He has made significant sacrifices for this role, including giving up alcohol and non-vegetarian food until the completion of the film’s shooting. Sharing the screen with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi will portray the role of Sita in this highly-anticipated movie.
Recently, a report from a credible source suggested that Ranbir Kapoor has taken this role very seriously. He has decided to lead a clean and disciplined life to embody the purity and sanctity associated with the character of Lord Rama. While Sai Pallavi has a clean and controversy-free image, Ranbir Kapoor is known for his lively and colorful lifestyle. Nevertheless, he is leaving no stone unturned to prepare for this iconic role.
It’s worth noting that Ranbir Kapoor was in the headlines recently in connection with the money laundering case related to the online betting app Mahadev. He was summoned for questioning regarding his attendance at the wedding of the main accused, Saurabh Chandra. However, later reports clarified that Ranbir was called in for routine questioning and wasn’t directly involved in any illegal activities.
In this adaptation of the Ramayana, Sai Pallavi will play the role of Goddess Sita. Previously, there were speculations about Alia Bhatt being considered for the role of Sita, but the final decision went in favor of Sai Pallavi. There are also rumors that Yash, known for his role in KGF, might appear as Ravana in the film, although no official announcement has been made regarding this yet.
The film Ramayana is set to be directed by Nitesh Tiwari, who has previously helmed successful movies like Dangal and Chhichhore. The shooting for the film is expected to commence in February 2024. Initially, Madhu Mantena, Naman Malhotra, and Allu Aravind were producing the film, but they stepped down due to controversies surrounding another Ramayana project called Adipurush. The film Ramayana is planned to be released in three parts, making it a grand cinematic spectacle.
Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming film Animal, where he plays an intense character, is scheduled to be released on December 1st. In this film, he will be sharing the screen with South actress Rashmika Mandanna. It’s worth noting that Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor’s previous film, “Luv Ranjan’s Tu Jhootha Mai Kaun,” did not perform exceptionally well at the box office.
