Scarcely had the casting of Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita been finalised for Nitesh Tiwari's much-delayed adaptation of the Ramayan, one now hears that the hunt is on for a 'decent and sanskari' actor to play Laxman.
Several Actors have already said No, including Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan's grandson, Agastya Nanda.
A source close to the development tells Subhash K Jha, "Agastya's hands are full. He has just completed The Archies with Zoya Akhtar and will be deep-diving into Ekkis with Sriram Raghavan. At this stage of his career, he can hardly afford to play second fiddle to another actor."
In fact, several Actors who have been approached to play Laxman have said the same thing: Why Laxman, why not Ram?
