Ranbir Kapoor and Nitesh Tiwari are set to collaborate on Ramayan. Although the project is yet to be formally announced, it was reported that Ramayan would kick off filming this year. The film also reportedly stars Said Pallavi in the lead. However, a new report has now claimed that Ramayan might not begin filming this year. The film allegedly has ‘several internal issues’ that need to be resolved before they could start filming.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The project is on. But not this year.” The insider added, “There are too many internal issues to be resolved.” The report also claimed that costumes are also another reason for the delay. “The costumes are not ‘lavish’ enough,” the report mentioned. Nitesh and Ranbir are yet to address the claims.
Last week, Siasat claimed producer Madhu Mantena has backed out of the project. Reportedly, Nitesh Tiwari’s directorial was being co-produced by Allu Aravind and Madhu Mantena but the latter has stepped back from his role as a producer now. The reason behind Madhu Mantena’s alleged decision is not known as of now. It should also be noted that the makers have not yet officially confirmed Mantena’s backing out yet. News18 couldn’t verify the claims.
In Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the role of Lord Ram. Sai Pallavi has been roped in for the role of Sita. KGF star Yash is also likely to play Ravana in the movie whereas Sunny Deol has reportedly been locked for the role of Hanuman. Bobby Deol and Vijay Sethupathi are also reportedly in talks for the roles of Kumbhakarna and Vibhashana respectively. It was recently reported that Amitabh Bachchan has been finalised for the role of King Dashrath in the movie. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this as of now.
