Shraddha Kapoor denies the reports of being offered Ramayana and Luv Ranjan’s next

Shraddha Kapoor is one of the most successful actresses of this generation. This year, she gave back-to-back hits like Saaho and Chhichhore and proved her mettle as an actress in the latter. We are sure she is being offered many films and a few days ago, there were reports that Shraddha is offered Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana and Luv Ranjan’s next.

It was said that in Ramayana, Shraddha will be seen as Sita and Hrithik Roshan will play the role of Ram. Talking about Luv Ranjan’s film, Deepika Padukone was considered to play the lead role opposite Ranbir Kapoor, but she opted not to sign the film, and then the makers approached Shraddha.


However, all the reports have turned out to be untrue. A tabloid has quoted Shraddha, “Contrary to the rumours, I’ve not been approached for either of the films. However, I have just worked with Nitesh sir in Chhichhore and he has been a dream to work with so I would love to work with him again.”

Well, it would surely be interesting to see Shraddha opposite Hrithik and Ranbir on the big screen.

Currently, Shraddha is busy with the shooting of Baaghi 3. The actress will be undergoing the training in judo and mixed martial arts for the film. A couple of days ago, the director of the film Ahmed Khan had told a tabloid, “After shooting in Mumbai, Delhi, and Agra, we leave for a 40-day schedule in Serbia in November. Three action masters, Kecha Khampakdee (he worked on the second part of the franchise as well) and Slavisa Ivanovic (stunt coordinator for Uri: The Surgical Strike) who’s from Serbia, along with a Bulgarian trainer, will be training her.”

Apart from Baaghi 3, Shraddha has Street Dancer in her kitty. The film, which also stars Varun Dhawan and Nora Fatehi, is slated to hit the screens during the Republic Day weekend next year. Meanwhile, Baaghi 3 will release on 6th March 2020.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
