Yash as Ravana, Ranbir Kapoor as Rama
As per a report on Bollywood Hungama, Hrithik Roshan has opted out of the film because he doesn't want to play back to back negative roles. Since Yash is managed by an agency run by producer Madhu Mantena, he will likely end up bagging the role. The talks are on, it is said.
Furthermore, Sai Pallavi and Deepika Padukone's names are doing the rounds for the role of Sita in the movie.
The director who is developing Ramayana, which will be a trilogy, had earlier said that he wanted kids as well as old people to be equally excited for the movie. He added that he wanted kids, who are Avengers fans, to also love the movie.
"Ramayana is magical. It is something that we have not seen from an Indian maker. It has got a lot of magical qualities to it and the kind of forest we had, you had animals talking to us, this was something which is wonderful and it allows you to have the potential to present beautifully on screen a world that you have not seen before. It is a prep heavy film. It is very tough but gratifying if you can get it right, as you have the technology to do it," he was quoted as saying by PTI.? ? ?
"What makes it challenging that how do you tell a story to a six-year-old and retain the faith of 60-year-old. That is why it is taking the time. You have to strike a balance. My nine-year-old kid has to find it exciting, they are fans of Avengers. At the same time, it needs to be exciting for my mother-in-law at a level where she would be like I have not seen Ramayana in this form. It is a big challenge," he added.
He said Ramayana will be made in an entertaining manner without being preachy.
"When I say entertain, I don't mean to make people chuckle or laugh because that kind of stuff is not there in Ramayana. But the execution is also entertaining. The ultimate aim is to keep them glued to their seats," the Dangal director said.
Yash and Ranbir Kapoor starrer Ramayana will likely release in June 2023.??
