Ash And Abhi To Star In “Ramayana”

There is news that “Ramayana” will be portrayed on the Hollywood screen.

The brain behind this fascination is Ashok Banker whose love for mythology led him to take on such determination of portraying “Ramayana” on the Hollywood screen.

Talks about the production of this movie have been going on since 2006 , and a major Hollywood production studio is backing it.

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.

It seems to be the most awaited picture of the year.

    I don’t see why Abhishek and Aishwarya should be selected for the lead roles. Abhishek’s getting Films only because of his fathers name and probably now because of his wife!!!! And Aishwarya is truing to get free publicity by roaming with the Bachans. Shah Rukh might make a nice Ram or probably Hrithik will.

    Dude I agree with you.

    so i heard its gonna be a hollywood movie.
    i think that hollywood and bollywood should not mix together.
    hollywood is good but they are asking all the bollywood people for roles and they shouldn’t be.
    hollywood needs to stick to hollywood.
    and bollywood needs to stick with bollywood.
    but both of them are still good.

    well i don’t care if they mix cuz indian movies are starting to be like hollywood and mostly ash works in hollywood movies not alot of other actors do!Y does it bother you guys that they are getting along!GET OVER IT!!!!

    I agree with everyone who says Hollywood and Bollywood should be separate.. has anyone seen Partition? I mean the actors can’t even pronounce each others names properly! What’s the point of making a movie when you can’t even pronounce your character’s name properly?

    I agree with sharma and superstar! Bollywood rocks and hollywood stinks! They should not mix thats one hell of a bad idea! And nicole is ugly as a monkey’s ass! Hollywood needs to stand back and mind there own damn business! Ok!!!!!!!!!!!

    Don’t lie. You guys would love it cuz all the baddies will be portrayed by Westerners. Some of you Indians are the most racist people roaming this planet.

    Get the fuck over it. Hollywood and Bollywood will never mesh. Aish is trying desperately hard but why do you all have such a problem with it? If you were in her shoes, you’d do the same thing so don’t start acting all “holier than thou” and shit.

    P.S. I’m sick of Abhi-Ash movies. We get it, you guys are married, in love, and can’t get enough of each other. Enough already.

    Another thing I wanted to add is I watch bollywood movies for its Indian-ness. I don’t want to watch a bad remake of another Hollywood movie. I don’t even like remakes that Hollywood makes. Let’s keep them separate so we, the audience, can pick and choose what we want to see and know that we’re seeing the authentic thing.

    Even you guys have to admit that the Bollywood version of the Hollywood movie Fightclub and the Korean movie Old Boy was so pathetic it was actually funny. To be fair, Hollywood remakes of Korean films are also ALWAYS BAD.

    You guys are racist wtf! y does it matter that americans can’t pronounce there names not all indians can speak english by the way and most of the indian movies are remakes of hollywood movies and they suck!

  15. 15 On February 4th, 2008, Nikita said:

    i actually agree with WTF a 100%. We need to keep the Indian movies Indian and not try to
    make them like hollywood movies and WTF is right in the sense that any movie that is a re-mae
    of a holly wood movie sucks really bad. i think the indian directors are running out of their
    own ideas that they need ti re-make a hoolywood movie or mess-up an older Hindi movie that was
    super hit by trying to remake it…like Sholay to Aag, like is there any compareson at all??

    I agree with Nikita!

    Aish and Abhi????
    what! i thought Kajol and Ajay were supposed to play ram and sita??????

    Has anyone on this entire forum actually read the Ashok K Banker Books? I am presuming not as none of you would then be thinking that this movie can possibly be made in India with actors and actresses like Ash and Abhi. The books depict several descriptive sexual scenes and is sexual innuendo are common ground throughout the series of books. Bollywood movies may be fantastic but I don’t think they are quite ready to produce this movie and still maintain the original workings of the book. If on the other hand Bollywood decided to make its own re-write then I’m sure we would still get a fantastic movie but we would all lose out on potentially one of the greatest remakes ever.
