Ramayana: Ranbir Kapoor's Ram Does Not Have Face For Laxman Yet? Here's What We Know!

Following the controversy surrounding Prabhas' 'Adipurush,' Bollywood director Nitesh Tiwari surprised many by announcing his ambitious project, an epic adaptation of the 'Ramayana.' The casting choices raised eyebrows, with Ranbir Kapoor slated to play Lord Ram and South actress Sai Pallavi reportedly chosen for the role of Sita. The intriguing revelation was the selection of 'KGF 2' star Yash to portray the formidable Raavan. However, the question of who would embody Lord Laxman remained unanswered.

A recent report gained attention as it highlighted Agastya Nanda's rejection of the role of Lord Laxman. According to sources, Amitabh Bachchan's grandson declined the offer due to his packed schedule. Agastya Nanda is set to make his debut in 'The Archies,' alongside Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and others, which is scheduled for release on Netflix on December 7. Additionally, Agastya is committed to Sriram Raghavan's film, 'Ekkis.'

The decision seems to be rooted in Agastya's aspiration to establish himself as a leading actor in the industry. As his career is just taking off, he appears unwilling to play a supporting role to a star as prominent as Ranbir Kapoor. This leaves Nitesh Tiwari in a predicament, struggling to find a suitable actor for the role of Lord Laxman.

The question remains as to whether Nitesh Tiwari can secure a well-known and reliable actor for this crucial part in his 'Ramayana' adaptation. Casting for such a role appears to be a challenge, given the hesitancy of many actors to participate in ensemble cast projects, let alone play a secondary character alongside a prominent figure like Ranbir Kapoor.
