Bollywood’s mega-mythological project Ramayan has sparked nationwide buzz with a stellar cast and epic storytelling promise.
Directed by Nitish Tiwari, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita.
The recently released glimpses have already received an overwhelming response online.
But the biggest surprise? The role of Lord Ram was first offered to Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu, according to reports now going viral.
📌 According to industry insiders, Mahesh Babu missed Ramayan role for Rajamouli movie as he was already committed to a pan-world cinematic venture with SS Rajamouli.
Due to prior commitments, Mahesh politely declined the offer.
🎥 Fans reacted strongly on social media, with many expressing disappointment that Mahesh missed a chance to headline a mythological blockbuster like Ramayan.
However, others defended the decision, citing that SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film will be a global spectacle, potentially even bigger in scale.
🔥 Meanwhile, production for Ramayan is moving ahead at a rapid pace. Kannada superstar Yash is set to portray Ravana, adding even more weight to the film’s ensemble.
