Prabhas as Ram? lol - Page 3

Ancient times norms especially for privileged or royal families were that Boys should have completed their education and girls should have attained puberty and some years after that, to ensure she is healthy to bear children.

That means that Sita was atleast 13 - 16 and Rama 17-24 at the time of marriage.

However if a 40 year old Amir Khan can be a 20 year engineering student, then I don't see why Prabhas age makes a difference.

Historic accuracy is the last thing expected in a Bollywood movie.

In any case the posters show a pre-historic look for Rama. Not the polished chocolate boys we are used to watching in TVSerials.

I would wait for the final product before making a judgement

And the fact that Rajamouli always looks for his charachter to shine not the star.

Hrithik will look Hrithik on screen not Ram.

And he is looking at all India market, that includes south too. Hritihik will not get him a penny there But Prabhas raked in numbers in the north. Coupled with the director who will get him Maharashtra box office openings due to his last success with Tanhaji.

.the director and Prabhas will get him the mega opening across country that Hrithik cannot.

After the opening it's up-to Rajamouli to make it a block buster.

Ranveer would be really bad choice for Ram.. He cannot pull it off.

Exactly...Can't picture HR as Rama...He couldn't do justice to Akbar....All people talk about is his chemistry with Aishwarya....Even he would like to forget what he did in Mohen Jodaro....His voice is weird....I can't imagine Ram talking like Rohit from "Koi Mil Gaya"

Prabhas is the only one I can see playing a mythological hero after Bahubali

I don't particularly want Hrithik as Ram but huh? They also talk about his great and multi awarded performance as Akbar.

There was a lot wrong in Mojendaro. Hrithik was not among them.

Talking like Rohit? Yes, he did when he played Rohit... It's called ACTING.

Hrithik is also one of if not the best selling Bollywood actor in the south.

Geez...Do you want me to sing an Aarti for him?...

All I have seen about JA is praises of his chemistry with Aishwarya...He couldn't set a benchmark for historical/mythological characters...He was worse in Mojendaro and he used his "Rohit" voice in Mohenjodaro which I believe is not called ACTING....

No, you're too busy dong that for Prabhas.

Rajamouli made a fly his hero and made it a box office success.

When he started Bahubali all the stars in South wanted to be cast as hero and he chose Prabhas.

He starts with a vision in mind and selects the actor who fits in that role.

So far his every movie has been casted that way. If he thinks Prabhas fits the role then he definetly would.

The other aspect of course is that focus of his movie will always be the story, his interpretation of it, sets and CGI. Actors are for him to bring his vision alive. That has been so for his every film. Including Eega with the fly

He spent all his budget on the movie and Prabhas was paid from profits.

He will not pay crores that Hrithik will ask for. That money he would rather spend in making the movie spectacular..

Hrithik may be a good actor who has done good movies

But he is expensive, he doesn't seem to fit Rajamouli's vision and he cannot guarantee a good opening in South. Prabhas does.

And in any case financiers trust Rajamouli so are bankrolling the 500 crores that he asked for.

I have seen all his movies so far, even Telugu ones and I don't know Telugu.

I trust his vision. If he thinks Prabhas suits his Adipurush Rama then Prabhas does. Hrithik does not

Others opinions will count after movie releases when they pay money to buy the ticket.

If the opening reviews pan out and people don't like Prabhas in the role then we can talk about whether Hrithik would have done that role better or not.

Till then it's Prabhas ......

I just hope they have another younger teenager actors who will do the initial parts around the Swayamwara etc because at that time Ram & Sita were 15-16 year olds.

Just imagine Prabhas and Kriti being passed off as 15 year olds.😳 Itni CIG karni padegi phir bhi it will look ajeeb.

They might pass this off without CG too, tv mein bhi yahin hota hai, they just put white powder in the actors' hair if they need to show them aged😆

Oh my goodness! is all I can say, people do love wasting good money and the public laps it up..... they are entering into very delicate matters for their sake I hope they offer the utmost respect and that they know what they are doing....

This is Rajamouli

He doesn't need controversy or stars to sell his movie. His creativity sells the movie.

His Adipurush will match popular story of Ramayana..but scenes will be very creative, specially action scenes. Like the one where Prabhas lifts Shiva Linga for his mother or the one where he climbs on catapult and lands on palace to attack.

The director (I don't know the name of the guy) who made Tanhaji was not accurate historically either but it was respectful to the original story. Maharashtrians I spoke to said the same, ending wasn't what happened in real but it was still something to be appreciated,

No wonder they asked Saif to shut up and only speak the dialogues when acting in front of camera.

They will definetly not be accurate with regards to Valmiki Ramayana but I don't think they will be disrespectful

Which directors like Bhansali or Aamir Khan are.....

p.s. Don't get me wrong I loved me Bahubali but Ram was pretty even...not just strong
