Priya Prakash Varrier Cast As Urmila In Nitesh Tiwari's Epic Ramayana

The Indian film industry is abuzz with anticipation for Nitesh Tiwari's forthcoming project, Ramayana, a trilogy that promises to bring together a constellation of stars. While official confirmations are pending, the rumor mill has been active with talks of Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, and Sunny Deol stepping into the iconic roles of Lord Rama, Sita, Ravana, and Lord Hanuman respectively. Adding to the ensemble, Sakshi Tanwar is reported to portray Ravan's wife Mandodari, despite initial denials, insider sources have confirmed her participation in this ambitious project.

Further heightening the excitement, Priya Prakash Varrier, affectionately known as the 'wink girl', is set to join the cast as Urmila, Lakshman's wife. Varrier will star opposite Ravie Dubey, who is cast as Lakshman. Although Varrier's character is said to have limited screen time, her inclusion in the project has been met with enthusiasm. The actress expressed her excitement about being part of such a prestigious project.

Details regarding the commencement of Ramayana's shoot remain speculative. There are conflicting reports about the start date; some suggest that production may kick off on April 17, 2024, aligning with Ram Navami, while others hint at a later start in the following year. The exact timeline for the beginning of filming thus remains shrouded in uncertainty.

Priya Prakash Varrier rose to fame through Malayalam and Telugu cinema and became a nationwide sensation after her wink in Oru Adaar Love went viral. In 2018, she dominated Google's search rankings in India, becoming the most-searched-for personality in the country. Following her viral success, Varrier made her Bollywood debut with Yaariyan 2 last year.

The film industry and fans alike are on tenterhooks for an official announcement regarding Ramayana's full cast and shooting schedule. With talents like Priya Prakash Varrier and Sakshi Tanwar joining the project, Ramayana is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited films in Indian cinema.
