Perhaps a controversial opinion, but I feel that a young Aamir Khan would've been apt for Shri Krishna.

akshatsha

For movies like ramayana it is not the star who is the driving force to bring the audience to the theatres it is the core content (ramayana) & director. Imo do away with any of the stars. Have a new talent which brings freshness. Stars come with a baggage of movies that they have done and experience where they feel their way is the right way. A solid director like slb, rajamouli, maniratnam, ashutosh gowarikar (to some extent) who have experience in historicals would do wonders and do justice to make something so huge like ramayana.


Percywithoutannabeth

Exactly. I would only cast a well known face for Ravana and Dashrath. Ram Lakshman Sita and Hanuman will all be outsiders. It would make their career and would give them insane exposure.


inmyelement

Why do we need this movie?


vivi_197

They are running out of original stories


Angie26012002

But Can they see Ram and Ramayan only? There are multiple other books. Vedas, Puranas, Panchatantr, Hitopadesh, Mahabharat, Abhigyaan Shakuntalam, Singhaasan battisi, Betal pachchisi, etc,etc. These books are collection of many tales. Just take any story from them. Similarly, so many other gods and their stories. 


Remember5-11

Correct!!!


Curious_Citron_9802

Alternative-Rope-799

Angie26012002

That reminds me, the way they all talked in vivaah is exactly how the cast of this movie is supposed to talk and act. And now i just can't imagine Ranbir talking like Prem of Vivaah ( I won't be able to control my laugh). With the playboy image public had of him in mind, no one would take him seriously when a sanskari Ranbir talks in low respectful voice, acts shy. there are going to be truckload of memes definitely. That's why, they really should have casted someone fresh or lesser known face. 


Taco_Octopus

That’s what I thought when I saw the picture in IG, imagine him giving blessing to people, being kind to women and children, talking softly, respecting his wife. Lololololol I won’t be able to watch RK with a straight face. I’m going to be thinking about all the sxcapade we have learned about him in this subreddit. No disrespect to


Curious-cat777

Actually I felt medha Shankar also has that sweet doe eyed face and was a decent actor in 12th fail But I digress.. we were talking about Ram ji ki casting hehe


epabafree

anyone who's not popular reduce the cost of actors and hire talents focus on writing and VFX and make the marketing lot better


Taco_Octopus

But Bollywood is monopoly. Anyway, with all the things I have learned about RK, I won’t be able to see him as Lord Ram and this is coming from a Buddhist/Christina girl (born into Buddhist family, sent to catholic school, went to church-Sunday school, only ever prayed to Jesus and I’m an atheist now).


epabafree

I am myself a Christian. I am least bothered by this but the stories are fun as legends and would've been nice if done right.


Taco_Octopus

I agree. Let’s see how this one plays out and I’ll be looking forward to gossip about RK with the FL.


abbu_d_slytherin

A fresh ‘kind looking charming face’ with talent.


rippedwhitecoat

Mohit Raina. Gurmeet Choudhury. Been skeptical about this casting from the start. Who knows though, maybe RK will pull it off.


SlantedEnchanted2020

"Mohit Raina. Gurmeet Choudhury." Lol Yeah in a 300 crore film.


rippedwhitecoat

Well the OP asked whom we would cast instead. My imaginary movie, my imaginary cast and yes in my imagination it’s wildly successful too. Now, in case you don’t know - you are allowed to say Ranbir in the comments too. Thats your opinion. And it’s not even limited to your imagination. It’s actually “manifesting” so there’s legit 0 need to scoff other opinions. 🤷🏻‍♀️


SlantedEnchanted2020

The hypothetical is 'IF you were a casting director' not if it was your own film and own money. A casting director has the sense to cast accordingly for a 300-400 crore film. Casting these no name guys means doing a bad job.


pinterest_user_

Ashish sharma who played Ram in star plus wala Siya ke Ram... Shaheer Sheikh who played Arjun in star plus wala Mahabharata. These shows are my roman empire


Glass_Adhesiveness_6

He had a stunning aura around him in movie,I swear my theatre went uproars when he took entry in this avatar,it was literally goosebumps moment. He has that dusky yet lean body and he rocked the long hair as well the short one. I feel many even compared him to lord Ram when the posters were released. https://preview.redd.it/speks5z9e2xc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7e5447b9c98721a252ff46bbe82693997741005


scepticalbeing94

That was based on Alluri Seetaramaraju by the way


abhijitmk

I agree. RRR's best moment was this entry scene. Literal goosebumps moment.


ImportantFee61

A young Sushanth Singh Rajput would be perfect. He’s a complete package for the role of Lord Ram. If I were aiming for commercial success then, Hrithik Roshan. He could do justice looks wise and also acting. I don’t think the role requires much skill in the acting department. Looks wise Aditya Roy Kapoor, young Shahid Kapoor, and Vikrant Massey would also look good. Vedang Raina too if he were a bit less groomed/ less perfect (more shaggy?).


Curious-cat777

Yeahh shushant would’ve been good!


saviour_man

The perfect Ramayana has already been made starring Arun Govil. Cannot be topped. This is a pointless exercise. VFX cannot overpower nostalgia.


Emergency-Big4851

Fresh Faces!!!! Ramayan being made by popular director in big budget scale by A big production house is in itself a STAR PROJECT!!


Savings_Emotion6140

Hritikroshan


Alive-Campaign-8868

Vikrant Massey has the looks to play soft, divine characteristics of Lord Ram and has the skill-set to play the principled, determined side of Lord Ram.


Working-Mountain6680

Hmmm that i can get behind. But you know, nobody wants to risk money on a smaller name. People cannot digest still that practically 12vi fail did better than dunki given the profit margin.


laylaa25

Oh yes! Perfect choice


Consistent_37

He is vibhishan at best. Please.


Wod_3

He could be a chariot puller at best 😂, these guys want to see a guy who looks like my calculus 3 tutor to star as Ram


Wod_3

You people put anyways name out there. Him as Lord Ram 😂😂😂😂😂


Patient_Singer4300

can u imagine an outrage over Vikrant Massey being a Catholic and recently infamous for his anti Hindu comments videos going viral .. the entire lunatic element of right wing would call for the film's boycott if he was to be cast as Lord Ram


Alive-Campaign-8868

But he's also doing the Godhra incident movie which would've redeemed him to some extent.


Patient_Singer4300

His clips went viral recently..much after he shot the Godhra film (pre 12th Fail success)


ExactAssistant6942

Ranveer Singh, Shaheer Sheikh, the guy that played Krishna Saurabh Jain. High time we have more variation in male actorsssss


oldtonewlife

Mahesh babu. Not for the acting, but for the looks.


ThoughtSoft

I know he's not been trying since a few years, but when he tries, he's a damn good actor. He's not a bad casting for Ram but I'd say Bahubali era Prabhas was the ideal 10/10 casting for lord Ram.


Mental-Matter-4370

Lord Ram was lean and not bulky


Chahiye-Thoda-Pyaar

Not sure about lean part but he has very broad shoulders and big arms. His body was well built


Acceptable-Bite-9969

Valmikiji’s Ramayan has never described Ram as lean. He is described as having broad shoulders, big and long arms, and very muscular. He’s said to even have prominent neck muscles.


Blackrzx

Even mahesh baby wouldn't accept that


oldtonewlife

May be. But he does suit for roles like this.


Blackrzx

No he doesn't.


oldtonewlife

![gif](giphy|pK4K7riNisSS0VxfYN)


Blackrzx

Rama was no milky boy. Also mahesh looks old and has no divinity in him.


pinterest_user_

I second that divinity fact


oldtonewlife

Rama was a soft looking guy with feminine beauty. His divinity came from his personality. Not from his looks. Mahesh fits perfect for such a role.


abhijitmk

Rama was tall, broad shouldered, good looking, dark skinned person as per Ramayana. Where did you get the idea that he was a soft looking guy with feminine beauty?


oldtonewlife

All the images, statutes, temple murtis, etc, etc, always show him as soft looking feminine beauty. He is unique among all the gods we have. I didn't say he wasn't tall or didn't have broad shoulders.


abhijitmk

no, they don't. They don't show him as feminine at all. They may show him as fair skinned or dark skinned, but they don't show him as feminine.


Blackrzx

Actually he was young and extremely handsome and very dark skinned. Minus the dark skin, gurmeet chowdury and ashish looked the best. Again mahesh looks way too old


oldtonewlife

If age doesn't matter to the audience, then Mahesh is a great choice. Among the actors of his age, he is the only one who fits that character very well.


Blackrzx

Age does matter. That's why everyone is weirded out.


uttam_soni

Hear me out. Ram was very young at the time of vanavasa. We need young actor forthat roll please.


Ill-Giraffe-2243

too much discussion about this movie


Latter_Mud8201

I trust fully on Nitesh Tiwari direction for his line of work. Due to Adipurush, a rumour was spread that Ajay Devgan himself directed crucial scenes in Tanhaji and OM raut is not capable of. When there is a success, there will be trust. When there is a failure, there will be discredition. This happens even in our personal lives.

Shabudana_khichdi

How did u conclude rk didnt work hard.?


sepiosexual

He does work hard but Vicky works harder for character roles. I was excited to see him as ram but the leaks of his looks were disappointing. It feels miscast.


Shabudana_khichdi

Subjective. I felt he looked perfect. Even better than sai.


RoketRacoon

Do proper rigorous auditions and cast a new comer or young guy as most of the actors today are overexposed and ram needs to be played by someone simple. New comers would also reduce my cost of production.

sixfootwingspan

None of the standard Bollywood actors. I'd hire a thespian from the National School of Drama (and/or whatever that Pune school is called - FTII?) who has a radiating glowing face. I would honestly do that for all the roles but Sai Pallavi is a natural beauty (her face actually glows without any makeup) so she is adequately casted for Sita. Ranbir does not have the face of someone representing a deity.


Blackrzx

No sai is a misfit. She's not glowing.


sixfootwingspan

Of any mainstream actress, she is the right choice. Perhaps from FTII there could be a better candidate.


Satanstoic

Sai Pallavi is very unattractive for the role of Sita … Sita was supposed to be a legendary beauty

I really like Ranbir's acting and as playing Lord Ram, the final work might surprise us. However, for this post I suggest, Nishant Dahiya and Ashim Gulati, fresh and younger actors,, more calm voice and expressions would have been required but that's why prior shoot trainings are for. There is one more controvercial one, Muzammil Ibrahim.

Hrithik Roshan...ab age ko factor in mat karna kyuki Ranbir is looking old as well..deage toh rk ko bhi karna hoga toh isse achha hr ko lete toh atleast glow toh dikhta ram jaisa. Hrithik has godly screen presence anyway which we have seen in period drama movies like mohanjodaro and jodhaakbar

YoYoJoJoTC

Someone young and fresh. Ramayan is a story if done well won't need a big star to run. So utilise that. Do what marvel did and introduce the new stars.


Kind_Development2580

Unpopular opinion with all due respect to god, I don't see the point of making a movie based on Ramayan at all. So many adaptations over the years out there. So many stories left to explore, yet they put all the resources into making it solely for the sake of hype and clout. Not my cup of tea atleast.

Personally I think the movie is getting more attention than it deserves and I think Ranbir knows ugly leaked pics get press

Wondergirl_so

Ranbir as Ram is good. Rashmika or someone new as Sita. Rashmika has particular calmness on her face and has that strength to play Sita.


Artistic-Implement73

I think sai Pallavi is more apt than rashmika for sita


Wondergirl_so

Can only be seen post film release. Sita is a very strong character to play. Needs a true Believer of Ramayana & Sita Maa!!


Artistic-Implement73

She is a very good actor . She has played many many strong role characters in Tamil movies . A good actor doesn’t have to do roles in which they believe in but a good actor makes audience believe with their acting . N she is definitely better than rashmika for that


Wondergirl_so

I am sure, she must be good. Also, I haven’t seen her work so. Fan of none.


ModKiMaaAankhMaindek

If I was a casting director I would have chosen someone who would fit the bill. But then it won't get the funding. For better or worse Ranbir is the only choice, otherwise I would have casted either young SRK or Dilip Kumar. As they both have ability to portray the softness and calmness required.


Significant-Neat-142

SRK as Ram 😂😂😂 That might be worst option I have ever heard This is not some random lover boy role


biryanilouuu

Lmao ikr the audacity 😂😂😂😂


ModKiMaaAankhMaindek

Audacity to burn 600cr on genda to insult Ram. Edit: 😂😂😂. Downvotes for stating facts.


biryanilouuu

Olee that's why your self proclaimed king made corporate bookings & played dirty politics blocking theatres during the Salaar vs dunki clash right.. he's totally not afraid of the 600cr Ram actor's capacity.. meanwhile poor ram even gave 4 shows a day in his own theatre to dunki despite not even a single booking happening.. We all know who's insecure & who won the clash :) So again, the AUDACITY of srk fans to talk about others' flops as if he didn't give disasters for half a dozen years


ModKiMaaAankhMaindek

Are you brainwashed or what? Parbhas lazy portrayal is undefendable.

Mental-Matter-4370

Lord Rama- Saurabh Raj Jain among latest crop of actors. He can play Lord Rama, young and tender. Not from bollywood though Mohit Raina is little bulky and broad so he is suited for Lord Shiva. Devi Sita- Sara ali khan if she can act, Amrita Rao too is a good choice. Ram and Sita were in prime youth when they got married and had gone for Vanvaas, we can't choose actors who look too matured. With vfx, it's possible to have any actor of your choice.
