Filmmaker Madhu Mantena is looking to adapt the religious epic Ramayan into a big budget film. He recently bought over the shares of Phantom Films from his partners Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl and wishes to sail his dream project about Ramayan soon. The budget of the project is said to be around 300 crores and Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari will helm it.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, These are sensitive times. And the last thing the Ramayan needs is an underwhelming treatment or a revisionist screenplay. Mantena has deployed several researchers to project absolute accuracy and preserve complete sanctity in his film version of the venerated epic.”
An A-list cast is being finalized and Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone are the the front runners for the roles of Lord Ram and Seeta.
