Telugu Superstar To Play The Role Opposite Bollywood Siren Deepika Padukone

Telugu Superstar Mahesh Babu is one of the most sought-after actors in the film industry. He has now been offered to play the lead role in Madhu Mantena’s dream project 3D Ramayana, inspired by the eponymous Hindu epic.

The much-talked venture has created a lot of buzz for its budget and casting. As per the recent reports, Mahesh Babu has been approached to play the character of Lord Rama opposite Deepika Padukone, who will be seen playing the role of Sita.

The report claims that the filmmakers are searching for a personality who could bring innocence to the role. Madhu wants to bring in Mahesh Babu to essay the iconic Lord Ram. According to sources, the actor has read the script and has liked it. However, he is yet to give the nod to the project.

The project reportedly has been allocated a budget of Rs. 300 crore. Initially, Madhu had also approached Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone to play the lead in his film. Later, Hrithik’s casting was reported to be for the character of the antagonist, Raavan.

Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is busy with his upcoming project Sarkaru Vaari Paata, an action film directed by Parasuram wrapped in the first week of February 2021. The flick also stars Keerthy Suresh, Subbaraju, and Vennela Kishore. Sarkaru Vaari Paata is scheduled for a theatrical release in January 2022, coinciding with Sankranti.
