After ‘Adipurush’, Nitesh Tiwari is reportedly also making a film based on Ramayana, which will reportedly feature Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the roles of Rama and Sita. Now it is being said that the makers of the upcoming magnum opus, based on the Indian epic, are being 'extra cautious' post the backlash against Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan's ‘Adipurush’.
Most of us are aware that Om Raut's ‘Adipurush’ was trolled for its dialogues and faced boycott calls. In fact, the movie's VFX as well as the costumes were criticised. In ‘Adipurush’, the main characters were Prabhas' Raghav (based on Rama), Saif Ali Khan's Lankesh (Raavan) and Kriti Sanon's Janaki (Sita). Nitesh Tiwari’s film on Ramayana will reportedly have Alia Bhatt and Ranbir in lead roles.

A source close to India Today, ‘Nitesh Tiwari and his team are being extra cautious in terms of how they plan to approach making Ramayan.’ The source added they 'want to keep it as authentic as possible'. They also want to be cautious of the dialogues, especially after Adipurush received flak for its 'cringe-worthy dialogues'. The report added 'the writers of Ramayana are going to be extra critical'.
Trade analyst Ramesh Bala too said, "Nitesh will take care of the looks because he wouldn’t want anything funky. He will also make sure that he creates it in a way that is respectful. He should also not put songs that are controversial but keep it clean. They will be showing the Gods on screen so no contemporary costumes or makeup should be used. Basically, they should be cautious about every aspect. Adipurush shouldn’t be repeated. Make it in a way that the audience will accept.”
