Nitesh Tiwari opens up about his forthcoming film ‘Ramayan’: Confident I won’t offend anyone

Om Raut’s ‘Adipurush’, which was an adaptation of Ramayan, create controversy over its VFX and poor dialogues, making it difficult for any other filmmaker to attempt a movie on the Hindu epic.

Despite the many controversies, filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari, who is going to helm a film based on Ramayan, is confident that his mythological epic will not offend anyone.

In a conversation with Zoom Entertainment, Nitesh opened up about his project and its casting. He said, ‘My question is very simple. I am also a consumer of the content that I create and if I’m not going to offend myself than I’m very confident that I might not end up offending anybody else.’

Rumours are rife that Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor could play the lead roles of Sita and Ram in the film. But, there has been no official announcement about it, and when asked about it, the filmmaker said, ‘Very soon.’

‘Adipurush’, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan, released in theatres on June 16 and opened to bad reviews.

Its visual effects and dialogues by Manoj Muntashir were severely criticised.

The makers altered the dialogues to save the film, but the footfalls in the theatres kept dropping in the following weeks.

Recently, Manoj Muntashir apologised for ‘Adipurush’ and admitted that the audience’s emotions were hurt by the film.
