Mumbai: Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious film ‘Ramayana’ is likely to go on the floors later this year. And the buzz in the industry is that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will play the roles of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita, respectively.
According to media reports, South star Yash of ‘KGF’ fame is in talks to essay the role of Raavan.
Nothing is official yet, but that didn’t stop Kangana Ranaut from opening her mouth on the supposed casting of ‘Ramayana’.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Kangana had some unpleasant things to say about the actor who is learnt to be the frontrunner to play Lord Ram.
“Recently I am hearing news about another coming up Bolly Ramayana… Where a skinny white rat (so-called actor) who desperately needs some sun tan and conscience he is infamous for doing nasty underhand PR about almost everyone in the industry… known for womanising and drug addiction after desperately trying to prove himself Lord Shiva in a trilogy (which no one watched or want to make more parts of) has now grown fancy to be Lord Rama,” wrote Kangana, known for her controversial views, in an obvious reference to Ranbir.
Kangana, who will feature in a film titled ‘The Incarnation: Sita’, didn’t stop there, and rubbed it in further.
“Whereas a young southern superstar who is known to be self-made, a devoted family man a traditionalist also according to Valmiki ji description he looks more like Lord Rama in his complexion, demeanour and facial features… is offered to play Ravana…What kind of Kalyuga is this?? No pale-looking druggie soy boy should play Lord Rama …. Jai Shri Ram (folded hands emoji).”
Kangana added a ‘danger’ sticker in her next Instagram Stories, and wrote: “If you hit me once I will hit you till you dead!!! Don’t mess with me stay away!!!!”
Ranbir played Shiva in Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva’, the first instalment of a trilogy.
