Abhishek-Aishwarya to play Ram-Sita in Mani Ratnams Ramayan

Imagine Abhishek Bachchan as ‘Maryada Purushottam Ram’ and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the docile and beautiful ‘Sita’ in a period film on the epic Ramayan. Well, the imagination may soon turn out to be a reality as the ace director is actually intending to sign Abhi-Ash for his upcoming film on Ramayan. And guess who will be cast in the role of Hanuman? Well, it is none other than our comedy star Govinda, who will be seen playing the monkey God.

Mani Ratnam is super elated with his next project after ‘Guru’, which was based on the life of industrialist Dhiru Bhai Ambani that saw this off-screen couple playing the lead role. Tamil actor Vikram will play the evil Ravan.

However, the story line still remains unclear. Read More......
