Kajol to play Sita

Raj Kumar Santoshi has found his Sita. He had already signed actor Ajay Devgan to play Ram for his next film, the extravagantly-budgeted Ramayan. Now we hear Sita will be played by Ajay's real-life wife Kajol.

While Santoshi and Ajay have done several films before like Khakee, Lajja and The legend of Bhagat Singh, this is the first time Kajol will act with the director.

More interesting, this is the first time the actress will be working opposite husband Ajay Devgan too, ever since their daughter Nysa was born. (The couple has last worked together in Anil Devgan's Raju Chacha, which was released in 2000).

It is a known fact that Ajay Devgan and Santoshi are close friends. Santoshi has even gone on record saying Ajay is his favourite actor, while Ajay has said in turn that he can never refuse Santoshi. Sources reveal that Santoshi, who was considering many actresses for the role of Sita, decided to cast Kajol after he finalised Ajay. He was also impressed by her comeback in Fanaa and since he had never worked with her before, approached her for the role of Sita.

Ever since her marriage and motherhood, Kajol has been extremely choosy about her films and has made it clear she will only do projects that she feels are worthy of her being away from her daughter Nysa.

Ramayan, budgeted at Rs 90 crore, will be one of the costliest films made in Bollywood and will be produced by Ke Sera Sera Productions in two languages

tfs,ram kumar santoshi made a good choice my casting kajol as sita..

Thanks for sharing,

Thats really auesome, that kajol is going to sign another film, as she is a perfectionist I think she will give a full justice to the role, as she always does. If only Ram was SRK 😆 😆

😃 Ya Kajol rocks

yay i cant wait! i m sure she is best for it- in fact i wanted her to do mahabharat and be draupadi- she has the strong look for the character. at least she is doing this one. i just dont see ajay as ram 😕 someone like aamir would fit better

I totally agree, i cant see ajay as ram either, Aamir would be a fantastic choice, as kajol and aamir complimented each other soo well in Fanaa

ofcourse kajol is fantastc actor...but cant think of her in role of sita..she doesn't sems apt for role.

but neways 90 crores is too good to be real...i wonder this film will ever see light of day..as santoshi keeps announcing films and shelving them.

but good luck.

kajol was a good choice 😊
