I watched Adipurush trailer an hour ago and I still cant register what I saw.🤓 The film is not only weak from VFX and aesthetic POV, but it also looks heavily miscast.


Prabhas looked very lame as Lord Ram. 😵 What a downfall from Bahubali series.

Kriti was half-decent, but she looks miscast in Sita's role.👎🏼

Laxman & Hanuman are very integral to Ramyana, but looks like they're portrayed by some weak actors too.😔

Saif's Ravana is the biggest joke of the century. His caricature-ish acting was so irritating.🤪




The question is, can any actor in today's Bollywood pull-off a Lord Ram, Hanuman or Laxman?

Thank God! Someone agreed that Sanon is miscast as Sita. She neither has grace nor acting chops. She can do PR PR only. Such a pathetic actress 🤮

Coming to the topic, Nitesh Tiwari is going to make Ramayan with Deepika as Sita, Ranbir as Ram & Hrithik as Ravan

I think Kriti was good in Mimi. But she does look miscast as Sita.


Deepika could've played Sita about 3-4 years ago, but now the audience's perception towards her has changed. And Ranbir as Lord Ram would just send this forum into a frenzy😆

and I am not sure ifHrithik could play a grand, negative character like Ravan.

Rather, Hrithik would look good as Lord Ram👍🏼.

Okay but I don't understand the hype about Mimi. She, as usual, was mediocre. Putting a pillow under dress doesn't make her a good actress 😂😂🤮. Imagine Sanya in the role, she would have lived the role. Her PR overhyped this useless movie.

I think RK can nail the role because he has that charm & is a good actor. Deepika atleast can fit the aesthetic.

I think looks-wise, Sidharth Malhotra might look good as Lord Ram on screen👍🏼 but he is a weak actor.


There's a serious dearth of young charismatic actresses in Bollywood today.

Most of them are bland.😵

Still, I would either choose Kiara (coz she's dating Sid) OR a completely new comer to play Sita. Too bad. Anushka Shetty doesn't works in Bollywood films, otherwise she is the perfect candidate for Sita.


I can imagine Rajumar Rao as Laxman.👍🏼

Lord Hanuman would be very difficult to cast. We don't have anyone in the industry with the charisma of Dara Singh.

Still I think someone like Rana Daggubati or Sonu Sood could play Hanuman . They both are good as villains too, so either of them can play Ravan too.

Ram: Vicky/Ram Charan

Sita: Tripti Dimri/Mrunal Thakur

Ravan: Sharad Kelkar/Rana Daggupati

Regarding actresses, you are extremely correct. I agree with the Kiara part. She would have been great in this film. Not only she can act better but also she looks more graceful than Sanon

I think Prabhas will have the 95% screen time. Saif-4%

Remaining screen time will be allotted to others.

Just my thought

No one. They should have casted some new faces and made an OTT series instead.
