Fans
have
been
eager
to
find
out
the
casting
for
the
big-screen
retelling
of
Ramayan
directed
by
Nitesh
Tiwari.
There
have
been
reports
about
Hrithik
Roshan
playing
Ravana
and
Mahesh
Babu
starring
as
Ram,
but
the
casting
is
yet
to
be
confirmed.
Now,
new
reports
are
speculating
the
film's
leading
actress.
A
Bollywood
Life
report
said
that
the
magnum
opus
reportedly
would
star
Kareena
Kapoor
or
Deepika
Padukone
as
Sita.
Both
actresses
are
in
the
running
to
play
the
leading
role
in
the
film.
While
Kareena
was
set
to
be
a
part
of
Karan
Johar's
magnum
opus
Takht
set
in
the
Mughal
era,
the
project
has
been
shelved
indefinitely.
Kareena
is
now
reportedly
looking
for
another
mythological
film
and
is
considering
Nitesh
Tiwari's
directorial.
On
the
other
hand,
Deepika
Padukone
has
been
a
part
of
several
films
with
royal
and
mythological
characters
including,
Mastani
in
Bajirao
Mastani
and
Padmavati
in
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Padmaavat.
She
already
has
several
films
in
her
kitty
including
SRK's
Pathan,
Fighter
with
Hrithik
Roshan,
The
Intern
remake
as
well
as
untitled
projects
with
Ajay
Devgn,
Prabhas,
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
more.
With
a
packed
schedule
for
the
next
year,
it
is
unclear
if
the
actress
will
take
a
new
project
on
board,
especially
since
she
is
also
set
to
be
a
part
of
Draupadi
in
Mahabharata
of
her
own
production.
On
the
other
hand,
Kareena
Kapoor
is
set
to
be
seen
in
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
alongside
Aamir
Khan
and
Veere
Di
Wedding
2,
which
is
still
in
the
pre-production
phase.
The
film's
budget
is
set
to
be
huge
which
has
also
raised
fans'
expectation
from
the
production
and
star
cast
of
the
film.
Reportedly,
whoever
lands
the
role
could
be
the
next
highest-paid
actress
in
Bollywood.
