Ramayana,
the larger than life epic is likely to
take another avathar in silver screen.
Ramayana has been presented in celluloid
a number of times in many regional languages
and Hindi as well, the famous form being
the mega sitcom, which was telecast on
DD for years.
In
an attempt to recreate the epic story
of Ramayana to educate the younger
generation, Rajkumar Santoshi, the
noted Bollywood director has finalized
the crewmembers including Rama and
Sita. Ajay Devgan dons the role of
Rama and his real life patni Kajol
plays Sita in the movie. Earlier,
impressed by Sneha’s performance
in a similar role in the Telugu hit
‘Sriramadasu’, Santoshi
decided to cast her as Sita in Ramayana
and Sneha even participated in the
photo sessions held in Mumbai. However,
for reasons unknown Kajol now plays
the role.
Rajkumar
Santoshi was in Chennai recently to hold
talks with Rajini to get him to play the
role of Ravana in the movie. Since Ravana
is considered as an evil monster, Rajini
is reportedly in a dilemma to take up
the project. However, there were no reports
regarding the outcome of the meeting.
We will keep you posted on the happenings.
