Bobby Deol Set to Roar as Kumbhakarna in Nitesh Tiwari's Epic Ramayan Adaptation: Report
In advanced negotiations with filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari , actor Lara Dutta is reportedly set to portray the role of Kaikeyi in Tiwari 's upcoming film " Ramayan ." According to a report by Pinkvilla, Tiwari is strategically selecting actors to embody characters from this timeless tale of Indian history.
A source close to the project revealed, "Nitesh Tiwari wants to cast actors who are apt to play the characters belonging to the most timeless tale of Indian History. He feels Lara Dutta is perfect to play the part of Princess Kaikeyi , the third consort of King Dasharatha. It’s a pivotal character that leads to the entire conflict in Ramayana , and Lara is excited to enter the fantastical world of Nitesh Tiwari."
The report further outlines that the film, planned as a trilogy, will prominently feature Lara Dutta in "Ramayana: Part One," with her expected to join Ranbir Kapoor during the first schedule of the film in March. While Lara's casting as Kaikeyi is progressing, the team is actively working on securing actors for other crucial roles.
For the role of Kumbhkaran, Nitesh Tiwari is reportedly keen on bringing Bobby Deol on board, though the actor is yet to confirm his participation. A source from Pinkvilla stated, "Bobby is yet to get back to Nitesh Tiwari on Ramayana. He might or might not do the film, and will take a call in the next 2 months. Post the success of Animal, Bobby is right now flooded with offers from across the industry, and he will be making his choices over the coming few months."
In addition to Lara Dutta and potentially Bobby Deol, negotiations are reportedly in advanced stages with Sunny Deol for the significant role of Lord Hanuman. Both Nitesh Tiwari and Ranbir Kapoor are said to be eager to have Sunny Deol join the cast of Ramayan.
Ranbir Kapoor is set to portray the character of Lord Ram, while Sai Pallavi will be seen as Sita. The film will also feature Kannada actor Yash , renowned for his role in KGF, as Ravana, according to a previous Pinkvilla report. As the casting discussions progress, "Ramayan" continues to shape up as a highly anticipated cinematic venture with a stellar ensemble cast.
