Ramayan: Ranbir Kapoor And Alia Bhatt Have NO INVOLVEMENT In Nitesh Tiwari's Film, Claims KRK! (View Tweet)

Reports of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt playing the title roles in Dangal filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayan’ arose amid the ongoing controversy surrounding ‘Adipurush’. According to several media sources, the director is getting ready to direct the epic mythology adaption, which would also feature Yash of the KGF fame in the key part. Another set of allegations, however, said that Yash turned down the offer because he couldn't risk alienating his followers by playing a bad guy. Kamaal Rashid Khan, also known as KRK, a self-described critic, has tweeted otherwise.

Social media users criticised the casting and accused the producers of switching South sensation Sai Pallavi with Alia shortly after the rumours went viral on Twitter. Read on for more information.

A while back, KRK used Twitter to dispel claims that Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor will be performing in the Ramayana. The leading real-life and fictional pair, he said, have never even met Nitesh Tiwari. He noted: “It’s a fake news that director #NitishTiwari is making #Ramayan with #Ranbir! Ranbir and Alia never ever met Nitish for a narration also.”

Reacting to KRK’s statement a user tweeted, “Good news agar ye sach hai to.” Another twitter user wrote, “The director needs to do his homework first to make this movie.”

A third user said, “Abhi adipurush ke baad sabki rooh kaanp jayegi aisi movie banne main.” A fourth one wrote, “Big beef guy is not worthy also.” Check out the Tweet below:

An insider previously revealed that Yash had turned down the role of Raavan opposite Alia and Ranbir Kapoor in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. “Yash was very keen on doing it. Playing Raavan convincingly is more challenging to him than playing Rama. Since Ranbir Kapoor has been roped in to play Rama, Yash was even more keen to come on aboard. But then he was strongly advised against it by his team. They felt his fans would not be happy watching Yash play a negative role, even if it is that of an antagonist as powerful as Ravana,” a source close to the development had revealed.
