There is a buzz in Bollywood that talks are going on with Amitabh Bachchan to play the role of Ram in Nitish Tiwari's film 'Ramayana'. Ranbir Kapoor is already finalized to play the role of Ram in the film. In this film, which is being made with a huge budget of Rs 350 crore, South Indian star Sai Pallavi has been selected to play the role of Sita, and Kannada film star Yash is going to play the role of Ravana. The need for a popular star was felt for a long time for the role of Ram's father King Dasharatha in this film. In fact, after seeing Amitabh Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor together when they went to Ayodhya temple to attend Ram Janmabhoomi Pran Pratistha, a saint in a discussion with Nitish Tiwari had expressed the thought - "Ranbir and Amitabh look like a father-son duo!" Since then there has been talk of Amitabh being roped in for the role of Ram's (Ranbir Kapoor) father Dasharatha.
The dilemma in casting Amitabh Bachchan
Here the dilemma of getting a film done with Amitabh Bachchan has not been cleared. The reason for this is that even after the super hit success of 'Animal', there is a fear that the hero might look suppressed in front of a legendary star like Amitabh. The second problem is that Ram is recognized internationally. Since the construction of the Ram temple, his form has become more powerful. Now Ram's picture or any story or film related to him cannot show him being overshadowed by any other star. Therefore, with this concern, there is a lot of discussion and debate about the upcoming casting of Raja Dasharatha. Let us tell you that Nitesh Tiwari is in the headlines even before the new film 'Ramayana' is made.
Ranbir Kapoor is finalized for the role of Ram
Let us tell you that Nitesh Tiwari and his team are taking bold steps in the creation of 'Ramayana' and their team does not want to leave any flaw in the casting. Deepika Padukone was first selected for the role of Sita in this film. Then Deepika could not be finalized in the film because she was playing very glamorous roles in some of her films. Then Alia Bhatt's name came up. Ranbir is finalized as Ram from the beginning. Alia herself was very keen to play Ram's Sita and went to Nitish's office to audition amidst her busy schedule. Meanwhile, Alia's pregnancy again messed up the math and the name of a third heroine was considered for the role of Sita.
South's Way Sai Pallavi is now finalized for the role of Sita. Now, the idea is to give Big B the role of Dasharatha. Amitabh is also said to be ready to be a part of Ramayana. Well, there is some confusion related to the image of Ram. No image bigger than Ram should be visible in the camera to be shown on the screen.
