National award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut finalised to play the role of Goddess Sita in the epic period drama, The Incarnation-SITA, confirms director Alaukik Desai and producer Saloni Sharma
The Ramayana is one of the most respected scriptures from Indian mythology. And it has been brought to life on screen several times and has always amassed a huge audience for it. It has been a while that Ramayana has been adapted for the big screen in the mainstream commercial cinema for a live action version, but now it seems like the audience is in for a treat.
Om Raut is already bringing his vision of Ramayana on screen with Adipurush, featuring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan and Sunny Singh, and now the makers of the upcoming epic period drama, The Incarnation–SITA, have officially announced an update about their lead cast, with Kangana Ranaut finalised to play the titular character of Goddess Sita.
Speaking about the news, director Alaukik Desai mentioned, “Universe does help those who surrender to it with belief. What was a mirage, is now clarity. A dream of a pious character never explored is now a reality. I am ecstatic to bring Kangana Ranaut on board as SITA. This pious journey will change the course of how we perceive our mythology. Thank you, SS Studio, for your immense support and belief.”
Confirming the same, Producer Saloni Sharma from SS Studio said, “As a woman, I couldn't be happier in welcoming Ms Kangana Ranaut on board our Vfx magnum opus, The Incarnation-SITA. Kangana symbolizes the spirit & essence of the Indian woman—fearless, daunting & daring. It's time we stepped in to celebrate equality in every respect.”
As per media reports, the writer of the film, KV Vijayendra Prasad, had also revealed that Kangana was his choice of actress to play the role of Sita.
Meanwhile, Kangana currently had the theatrical release of her pan-Indian film, Thalaivii, the biopic of the actress-turned-politician J Jayalalithaa, where she played the titular character. Up next, she has the action drama Dhaakad followed by Ronnie Screwvala’s Tejas, where she plays an Air Force Pilot.
