Nitesh Tiwari onboards DNEG

Nitesh Tiwari and his team have been working actively on creating Ramayan, and finally, the blueprint is ready. Reports suggest that the filmmakers have onboarded Oscar-winning company, DNEG, for VFX and it is expected that the cinematic experience might blow away the minds of the audience. 

However, the strength of Ramayana wouldn't be the visuals but the simplistic storytelling and compelling inter-character emotion.

Alia Bhatt was supposed to be part of it

Some reports claimed that before Sai Pallavi, Alia Bhatt was supposed to play the role of Maa Sita, however, due to some reasons which are best known to her, later the makers roped South star Sai Pallavi for the role.
