Around six months ago we exclusively broke Sai Pallavi will play Sita in Ramayana, a movie directed by Nitesh Tiwari. It gets confirmed now as she is all set to star in the film. She primarily works in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam cinema, and has won four Filmfare Awards South, including Forbes magazine’s feature as one of India’s 30 under 30 in 2020.
Sai is well-known for Love Story, Shyam Singha Roy, Maari, Dhaam Dhoom, Fidaa. Earlier the producers were in discussion with Deepika Padukone to play Sita. However, she will be reportedly playing Draupadi for the same production house, and none of the other A-list heroines in Bollywood own the old-world charm to act Sita Mata.
It is believed in Hyderabad that the producers of Ramayan are interested for Sai to play Sita. Ranbir Kapoor has reportedly been taken into movie and act as Rama, while Hrithik Roshan who was to play Ravana has walked out.
