Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi have been roped in to play the roles of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita, respectively, in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana'. Shooting for the film began last month, with clips from the opulent sets going viral on X. Now, new visuals from the shoot of the upcoming film have gone viral. The leaked pictures show the leading pair dressed as their characters.
The leaked photos show Ranbir decked up in traditional attire as Ayodhya's crown prince, Lord Ram, while Sai Pallavi looks ethereal as Goddess Sita. Ranbir wore a maroon dhoti and layered a matching dupatta to elevate the royal look. He accessorised his look with a long gold neck chain. Sporting long hair, he kept a subtle smile on his face. Sai Pallavi, meanwhile, wore a purple saree and accessorised her look with heavy traditional jewellery. Going by the looks of it, it appears that a pre-vanavasa sequence was being filmed.
Besides Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, Ramayana is likely to star Yash as Ravana. However, an official confirmation from the makers is awaited. Bollywood actor Sunny Deol has reportedly been locked in for the role of Hanuman. Bobby Deol and Vijay Sethupathi are also said to be in talks for the roles of Kumbhakarna and Vibhashana, respectively. If reports are to be believed, the makers are eyeing releasing the epic saga on Diwali, 2025.
