While the current situation of Covid 19 has let to a temporary halt on theatres, several trade analysts believe that big-budget films that are made for a theatre experience will soon be prepared for the same, starting later this year. Many mega-budgeted mythological dramas are being conceptualised like Om Raut’s Adipurush, based on Ramayana featuring Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon, Draupadi starring Deepika Padukone.
But that’s not it, according to a report by Bollywood Hungama, a movie based on Ramayana is being penned and gestated by Baahubali writer KV Vijayendra Prasad. The report mentions that the epic will be narrated from Ma Sita’s perspective and the movie has been therefore titled, Sita. While there are reports that either Kareena Kapoor or Alia Bhatt will be seen playing the titular role, we have heard learned that Ranveer Singh has been approached to play the role of Raavan in the film.
The publication quoted a source as saying— “Sita will be mounted on a huge scale and the magnitude of the film will be as big as a Baahubali. While it’s a toss-up between Kareena and Alia for the main role, the makers (director Alaukik Desai) have approached Ranveer Singh to play Ravana. Yes, if this happens, it might be the first-ever film that Ranveer and Kareena will be doing together. They were supposed to do Ram Leela but it didn’t work out. From what we know, both Bebo and Ranveer have loved their parts and are waiting for the final narration to give a go-ahead to the project.”
I am super excited about this one and sure can’t wait to hear more about this film! What about you guys?
