Prabhas To Play Ravan In Hrithik Roshan And Deepika Padukone’s Ram And Sita in Ramayana?

Director Nitesh Tiwari is on a roll. His Aamir Khan starrer Dangal was one of the most successful films of our times and now again with the Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor starrer college drama Chhichhore, Nitesh has again managed to hit the bull’s eye. The film is a roaring success and is garnering accolades from all nooks and crannies of the country.

And now if reports are to be believed, he has already started working for his most ambitious project Ramayana.

A Pinkvilla report has quoted a source as saying, “Allu Aravind, Namit Malhotra and Madhu Mantena have collaborated for the first time to make India’s most ambitious project and are producing Ramayana with Nitesh helming it."

Also, during a conversation with the same web portal, Nitesh revealed, “After Chhichhore, I'm going to do Ramayana which got announced sometime back. We are conceptualising right now. It's a trilogy that we are planning and we are trying to see the best possible way to make it.”

Addressing the speculations about Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone playing Ram and Sita, the director was quoted as saying, “We are still at the concept level. We haven't even thought of the casting." 

However, the same report quotes a source as claiming, “it's indeed going to be the first time that Duggu and Dippy will share screen space.”

The report also claims that there is another big star who will be essaying the role of Ravana in the epic film!

The report quotes the source as saying., “The makers have given the film a budget of Rs 600 crore which is also the highest ever that has been sanctioned for an Indian film. It will be released across India in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. So they have already bounced the idea off to Prabhas. The team wants the Baahubali star to come on board as Ravana because they feel he will add more personality to the character. He also has the build of Ravana and with Hrithik and Deepika playing Ram and Sita, it will be perfect casting, too. But the deal has not been locked. They have just initiated talks and Prabhas and his team will decide whether they want to do the film or not."

Well, as of now nothing has been finalised but when this comes to pass the end result will surely be worth watching. For more on this one keep a close tab on Desimartini.com
