Om Raut’s Adipurush has now got its Sita.
The film, which sees Prabhas as Ram and Saif Ali Khan as Raavan, will see Kriti Sanon play Sita.
Interestingly, the role was earmarked for Deepika Padukone.
Since she is already doing a film with Prabhas — the untitled Telugu venture directed by Nag Ashwini — it was felt that a fresh pair would make sense.
Sources say Kriti Sanon, super excited to be working in the mythological space for the first time, will play Sita mata with the full conviction of a true devotee.
She is expected to give up non-vegetarian food and alcoholic beverages during the time when Adipurush will be shot.
Will Kriti Sanon make a convincing Sita?
