Ashok Banker is said to have finalised Abhishek Bachchan as Ram and Aishwarya Rai as Sita in a Hollywood production of Ramayana!

He's said to be keen on casting Daniel Craig or SRK as Ravan, and Anthony Hopkins as Sugreev!!

I'd love to be cast as Ravan's kid Inderjit.

I'd like to be Lakshmana, so I could have the pleasure of eliminating Indrajit :lol:

Every once in a while there is a rumor of Mahabharata or Ramayana being produced with a mega budget. I'm not buying it.

Where's his head at? I hope Daniel Craig as well as Anthony Hopkins say no. There's so many indians trying to get more roles in American and British films and this guy goes for Mr Bond and Hannibal Lecter. I'm not looking forward to this.

AB and Ash cannot do justice to these roles anyway.

When asked about the cast and crew for his movie Banker says, “Some major names — both from Hollywood and Bollywood — are expected to be part of it. I’ve no idea if Nicole would be in it, though personally, I think she’ll make a great Surpanakha. Even Daniel Craig’s agent has called up to say that he’d be interested. And, if I had my way, I’d like him to do Ravana, since he has a very brutish and a very powerful presence. Actually, I’d want the baddies to be played by Westerners and Indians to play the ‘human’ ones” .

Indian spectators on the other hand find Ash-Abhi to be the ideal couple for the role of Sita and Ram. Ravana, they say will be best portrayed by King Khan –Sharukh.
