When a modern day adaptation of the Mahabharat was announced, it was only a matter of time before someone came out with a modern day Ramayan.
While Prakash Jha’s Rajniti is starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif among other big names, Mani Ratnam has taken up Ramayan and has cast Ash and Abhishek Bachchan in leading roles.
As reported by Mumbai Mirror, Ratnam was very keen on casting the couple as Ram and Sita. What’s more is that Govinda has very keenly stepped into the shoes of Hanuman.
Says a source, “The film will be made under Ratnam’s banner Madras Talkies and will be produced by his sister Sharda. The film will go on the floors by September end. Incidentally Vikram, who will be playing Ravan in the film will play Ram in the Tamil version.”
When contacted Govinda said, “All I can say is that it is a brilliant script and Mani Sir is extremely talented. I am honoured to work with a veteran like him.”
