It is known to all that Dangal fame Nitesh Tiwari is making a film on Ramayana. The movie will feature Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi as Lord Ram and Sita. Sandalwood star hero Yash is said to be playing Ravan. Though the film wasn’t officially announced, it grabbed the eyeballs with its ensemble star cast.
According to a report in Bollywood media, versatile actor Vijay Sethupathi is offered the role of Vibhishana in this magnum opus. The director is very keen to get Vijay Sethupathi on board for this pivotal character. It is also reported that Nitesh Tiwari’s narration has impressed the Tamil actor highly. Interestingly, the makers of the recent blockbuster HanuMan also approached Vijay Sethupathi for Ravan’s brother role, but that didn’t happen for some reason.
The same media house earlier reported that the makers are planning to rope in Sunny Deol for Lord Hanuman’s role. If made well, this project has all the possibilities to rewrite records in Indian cinema. Ranbir Kapoor and Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana will be made in three parts.
