Amitabh Bachchan to play
‘Dasrath’ in Nitesh Tiwari’s epic Ramayana-Ranbir Kapoor plays ‘Ram’
Speculations are rife that Amitabh Bachchan will play Dashrath in Nitesh Tiwari’s epic Ramayana.
The Rs 350 crore (Rs 3.5 billion) project has Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Kannada superstar Yash as Ravan.
Notably Amitabh and Ranbir shared screen space in Brahmastra for the first time. Now, they will come together again if reports are to be believed.
It isn’t the first time that the senior Bachchan has been offered the role of Dashrath in a large-screen adaptation of the Ramayana.
In 2009, The Legend Of Rama — co-scripted by Sanjay Khan and author Faroukh Dhondy — was to feature the former’s then son-in-law Hrithik Roshan as Ram, Khan’s son Zayed Khan as Laxman and Bachchan as Dashrath.
Unfortunately, the project never saw the light of day.
