Deepika Padukone has ben roped in to portray the character of Sita in Madhu Mantena’s 3D Ramayana. While Hrithik will play Ravan’s role and the makers of the fil had decided to get Prabhas for Ram’s role. But it wasn’t possible.Producer Madhu Mantena took time to put this project together while, director Om Raut announced his mega project Adipurush where he has asked Prabhas for the role of ram. Actress Kriti Sanon plays Sita and Saif Ali Khan essays Ravan’s role, has already gone on floors.
A source revealed, “Madhu got the biggest shock when Om announced Adipurush with Prabhas. He immediately got his team and financiers to bankroll his Ramayana and now, Hrithik has come on board as the villain. Deepika remains Sita and he wanted a big south face to play Lord Ram.”
The source further talked about how mantena is looking for one of the biggest Telugu superstars ever. “Madhu has offered the film to Mahesh Babu who also liked the script. Madhu feels he has the innocence to pull off Shri Ram’s character. Mahesh Babu, on the other hand, has liked the script but is yet to give his nod to the project. What also helps is Madhu who has a connection with KWAAN, has managed to get all the three top stars who are clients of the same agency.”
