The ambitious project, “Ramayana,” which was gearing up for production and a December shoot, has been hit by the news of Alia Bhatt’s exit. Alia Bhatt was initially set to portray the character of Sita in the film.

Cast Changes and Character Roles
The original lineup included Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Yash, the lead actor from “KGF.” Ranbir Kapoor was to take on the role of Lord Rama, Alia Bhatt as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. With Alia’s departure, the role of Sita remains vacant, while Ranbir Kapoor remains committed to portraying Lord Rama.
Yash’s involvement in the project as Ravana is still under negotiation. A preliminary look test has taken place, and discussions with Yash have been positive. However, Yash’s involvement hinges on his commitments to another project with director Geethu Mohandas. Decisions are pending based on Yash’s priorities and availability.
Production Pace and Considerations
Creating an epic production like “Ramayana” requires meticulous pre-production work. The filmmakers are dedicated to ensuring every detail is perfected for the big-screen adaptation. This focus on precision contributes to the slower pace of progress in the production timeline.
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s Last Appearance
The real-life couple, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, were last seen together in “Brahmastra,” adding an extra layer of interest to their potential collaboration in “Ramayana.” Alia Bhatt was recently seen in “Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.”

Nitesh Tiwari “Ramayana”
Another adaptation of Ramayana was undertaken by Om Raut and Manoj Muntashir, resulting in “Adipurush.” Despite the anticipation, Adipurush, starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, faced critical and commercial disappointment.
Nitesh Tiwari, the director of Ramayana, recently directed the film Bawaal, featuring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. However, the film faced controversy for its insensitive references to Hitler and the Holocaust, prompting criticisms from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.
The departure of Alia Bhatt from Ramayana has led to a significant delay in production, raising uncertainties about the cast and shooting schedule. As discussions with Yash continue, the film’s fate hangs in the balance.
Nitesh Tiwari’s vision for this ambitious project emphasizes the importance of meticulous pre-production work, even though it has contributed to a slower pace of progress.
