Adipurush: Anushka Sharma Might Play Sita Opposite Prabhas In Om Raut's Next; Read Details...

Om Raut's next has been generating a lot of hype already, and why not- it has Prabhas in the lead and Saif Ali Khan playing the main antagonist. What we all have been waiting for now is the announcement of the female lead, and it looks like we have a name.

According to a report in Pinkvilla, Anushka Sharma is one of the top contenders for the role of Sita. A source was quoted saying, "Anushka Sharma is the top contender for the role. Om met and narrated the whole idea to Anushka and she was blown away by his vision. In fact, their meeting had a very positive outcome and it will most likely be her playing Sita on screen."

Well, that would be one of the most interesting pairings to look out for, isn't it? Anushka is currently expecting her first child with husband Virat Kohli. The source said, "Anushka will mostly be ready to start shoot within two months post her delivery. Om wants to begin shoot around January and since Adipurush is based on Ramayana, they will first film the portions which won't need Anushka in them. They will kickstart the schedule with the Prabhas-Saif conflict. But it's still not confirmed - Anushka is Om's first choice for the movie but she is yet to sign on the dotted line."

Recently, Saif Ali Khan's look as Lankesh was revealed. Om Raut had also told in an interview that Prabhas will go through extensive training to fit into the character and added that he couldn't think of anyone else to play the role!
