Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Yash
The announcement that Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious film, Ramayana, has been postponed because the producers couldn’t find an actor to play the role of Raavan has been making waves in the industry over the past several months. On June 7, the rumour finally reached the news, causing a stir among the sector. The same day, Alia Bhatt and director Nitesh Tiwari were sighted together, which sparked speculation about their current projects. The current industry rumours state that Ramayan is still on schedule to begin production by December 2023, as directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
“Over the last few weeks, Ranbir Kapoor has been spotted visiting the DNEG office, to check on the progress of Ramayana. The pre-visualization of the world has already been done and the team is now doing look tests with Ranbir to play Lord Ram. The purpose of the visit has been to get the right look for Ranbir as on getting it right, he will then step into the physical transformation aspect,” revealed a source close to the development. The office that both Ranbir and Alia have been visiting over the last few weeks is addressed as the “Ramayana Office” where Nitesh Tiwari, Namit Malhotra, Madhu Mantena, and their team have created an entire pre-visualized world of the epic. It’s in the same building as RSVP office, which spiked the conversation of Ranbir and Alia doing something for Ronnie Screwvala.
On January 28, Pinkvilla was the first to report that Nitesh Tiwari and Madhu Mantena are in talks with Yash to play the role of Raavan. The conversations have been going on for the last eight months and after all the yes and no from Yash’s end, it seems that the actor has conversations rolling in the positive direction with Nitesh and Madhu. “Yash is yet to sign the dotted lines, but Madhu is confident to have Yash on board the film.

There are some minor issues, and once they are resolved, Nitesh and Madhu would have things on paper with Yash,” the source shared, quick to add that apart from Ramayana, Yash is also committed to doing a film with National Award Winning director, Geethu Mohandas. “Everyone assumed that Yash was not doing Ramayana, once the reports of Geethu Mohandas were out. But he is still in conversation and will probably do both films. “
