Amitabh Bachchan dons Dashrath in upcoming Ramayana movie
According to a recent report from Bollywood Hungama, there are strong indications that Amitabh Bachchan is in talks to join Nitesh Tiwari’s epic retelling of Ramayana. The report suggests that the iconic actor may portray the pivotal character of King Dashrath, the father of Lord Ram.
Moreover, the potential collaboration marks the reunion of Amitabh Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor after their last venture, Brahmastra. Furthermore, this fuels the expectation for their on-screen chemistry in this forthcoming magnum opus.
The excitement deepens as fans reminisce about Bachchan’s earlier association with the role of King Dashrath. Many years ago, during the casting of a Ramayana adaptation that never came to fruition, Amitabh was slated to play the role of the revered king. After all, it seems the megastar will finally step into the shoes of Dashrath in Nitesh Tiwari’s rendition.
While the cast of Ramayana is yet to be officially confirmed, speculations continue to swirl. As per a recent Mid-Day report, the filmmaker is expected to finalize the cast in the upcoming weeks. Another casting buzz is that Naveen Polishetty of AIB fame is in talks to play Lakshman.
The allure of this casting rumor gains credence, considering the impressive lineup already associated with the project. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi will reportedly play Lord Ram and Mata Sita. In contrast, Yash has been cast as the Ravana. Furthermore, Sunny Deol may don the mantle of Lord Hanuman, and Rakul Preet Singh will reportedly play the role of Surpankha.
All in all, as fans eagerly await the official confirmation, the excitement surrounding the Ramayana cast continues to build.
