Nitesh Tiwari`s ambitious mythology project of recreating the Ramayana was aiming to bring Ranbir Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan onto the big screen together. However, Hrithik Roshan, who was roped in to play the role of Ravan, has called it quits and walked out of the project. This comes after the project showed no sign of any further development.
Hrithik Roshan, who is assumed to play the lead antagonist in Brahmastra, was the perfect choice to play Ravan in Nitesh Tiwari`s next. However, the actor has walked away from the project and the reason will shock you. A close friend of the actor revealed that it wasn`t the fear of controversy that made the Kaabil actor opt out of Ramayana.
The actor`s friend stated, “Hrithik would have loved to play Ravana. In fact years ago his former father-in-law Sanjay Khan had offered him a chance to play Rama in a big-screen version of the Ramayana that Mr. Khan was planning. That didn’t happen. Now Hrithik has opted out of the chance to play Raavan, as he had other commitments. Hrithik no longer wants to do one project every two years. He would rather do two projects every year.”
Well, it makes complete sense to opt out of a project that has been at a standstill for a while now. Producer Madhu Mantena is now on the hunt for a new Ravan.
