After Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt will star in Ramayana, she will portray the role of..,Lord Ram will be played by superstar… Ever since Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has been announced, fans and filmy buffs cannot wait to witness the magic it's going to create on screen. From the big banner productions, high technology usage, and the release of its first promo, it has been creating a buzz on social media. But after Ranbir Kapoor, who is all set to portray the role of Lord Ram, and Sai Pallavi, who will play Sita in Nitesh Tiwari's film. Another Ramayana-based film is also taking shape in the South, this time from veteran actor Vishnu Manchu. Vishnu Manchu's Ramayana Vishnu Manchu shared earlier that he has been working on this mythological film for a very long time. But he is going to adapt it with a twist. He also revealed that this version will emphasise Ravana's perspective. He came up with this concept back in 2009 and reached out to superstar Supriya to play the role of Ram. However, due to budget constraints, the film couldn't be made at that time. The direction of the film was supposed to be done by Vishnu's father, actor Mohan Babu, who would also be doing the dual role by portraying the role of Ravana. The scripts and dialogues of the film were also ready however, it was shelved that time and now years later, the project has once again gained momentum. Who Will Play The Role of Lord Ram, And Goddess Sita? Recently, in an interview, Vishnu shared that he has prepared the entire script, which would depict the story of Ravana from his birth to his eventual end. Speaking of casting, Vishnu immediately named Supriya as his first choice for the role of Lord Ram, while Bollywood's beloved actress Alia Bhatt was finalised for the role of Sita. He also shared that he wanted to play the role of Lord Hanuman; however, his father did not approve of this. He instead wants him to play the role of Indrajit, Ravana's powerful son. Meanwhile, Vishnu had visualised junior NTR's brother Kalyan Ram in the roles of Lakshman and Bharat, while veteran actor Satyaraj was chosen to play the wise and valiant Jatayu. This highly ambitious project will showcase a fresh and never-seen perspective on the classic tale by focusing on the character of Ravana, not just as a villain, but as a complex and multi-layered figure. As Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is all set to hit the theatres. All eyes will also be on Vishnu Manchu's take, which promises to showcase the old age tale with a twist.
