Star filmmaker on Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita

Star filmmaker on Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita. Ever since Sai Pallavi was cast as Goddess Sita in Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana directed by Nitesh Tiwari , many questioned the makers. Some even questioned how Sai Pallavi suits the role of Goddess Sita. This intensified after her Bollywood debut film Ek Din and her discomfort in speaking in Hindi during the promotions in the North.

In the midst of all this, filmmaker Hemanth Madhukar shared his thoughts. He said, "Questioning Sai Pallavi's immense talent is unfortunate. She is one of the finest performers from the South and deserves every bit of respect for being chosen for such a prestigious Bollywood epic."

He continued, "If the objection is that only a fair-looking actress should play Sita, that is not correct. Director Nitesh Tiwari is the best person to decide who fits the role, and I believe he has made the right choice. Sai Pallavi will effortlessly pull off the character because it is a performance-oriented role, especially after Sita is taken to Ashoka Vatika. It demands emotional depth, and only a few actresses can do justice to such a character."

He pointed out, "Actresses with immense talent have portrayed Sita with conviction over the years. Talent is irreplaceable, and Sai Pallavi is all set to join that distinguished list. She is going to excel in the role," and took the names of Anjali in Lava Kusa, Jayaprada in Seetha Kalyanam, Nayanthara in Sri Rama Rajyam, and Revathi in the Tamil film Ilangeswaran.

He continued, "She should simply ignore social media chatter. Once Ramayana releases, her performance will speak for itself."
