Actor Sunil Lahri from the Ramayan responds to Alia Bhatt as Sita in the Nitesh Tiwari movie

The rumors that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt would portray Ram and Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s big-screen rendition of the Hindu epic have received a response from Sunil Lahri, who played Lakshmana in Ramanand Sagar’s famous Ramayan.

With Ramayan, producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari want to deliver the largest movie that Indian cinema has ever seen. The largest cast, grandest VFX crew, top industry pros, and massive sets are coming together to create the Ramayan universe, which has never been seen on the big screen before.

Both of them are excellent performers, and I believe they will do justice to the issue, according to Sunil Lahri. Ranbir is an excellent option and capable actor for the character of Ram. Although Alia is also excellent, I believe she would have done Sita’s character more credit if she had played the part five years earlier. It’s my own viewpoint. In the last several years, Alia seems to have transformed. I’m not sure how believable she’ll seem as Sita at this point.

Yash, who starred in KGF, is a candidate to play Ravan in Nitesh Tiwari’s movie. The actor recently responded to the rumors by teasing that he plays a significant role in the ambitious movie. “I won’t be leaving. Rumors are unimportant, Yash said, according to Pinkvilla.

According to a new source, the movie would probably start filming in December of this year, with Ranbir, Alia, and Yash playing the key parts. Nitesh Tiwari and Ravi Udyawar will direct Allu Aravind, Madhu Mantena, and Namit Malhotra’s production of Ramayana.
