Nitesh Tiwari’s adaptation of Ramayan is one of the most talked about films. Hrithik Roshan and Mahesh Babu are reportedly playing the lead roles in this film. It will be a three-part Ramayan retelling and as per reports the makers are looking for a perfect cast for it. While it is reported that Hrithik Roshan and Mahesh Babu will play the leads in this film, many had been waiting to know the names of the female leads.

Kareena Kapoor Khan was supposed to be a part of Karan Johar's mythological film, Takht but the film is now shelved.
