Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
The biggest Indian movie has arrived in theatres today. Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana , starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita, rolled out worldwide on November 5, ahead of the Diwali. Star Lara Dutta , who plays Kaikeyi in the movie, has now penned a heartfelt note on being part of the journey from the start and how she got the chance to play ‘one of the most misunderstood women in history.’
Adding to this, Lara Dutta shared her experience on playing Kaikeyi in Ramayana. In Ramayana, Queen Kaikeyi demands two boons from King Dasharatha that directly affect Rama: Her son, Bharata, be installed as the rightful king and crown prince (Yuvaraja) of Ayodhya, and that Rama be banished to the Dandaka forest for 14 years.
Meanwhile, Taking to her Instagram account, Lara shared a few stills of her look as Kaikeyi from the movie and penned a long caption to speak about the privilege of being part of a historical journey with Ramayana. She began, "What began many years ago as a fervent wish… to be a part of something greater than oneself. Greater than the collective. Something that transcends time itself… something woven into the very fabric of our being.
Notably, And today, that wish finds its place in a story as timeless as eternity."
As per the latest buzz, She added, “What an extraordinary privilege to portray a mother who has perhaps been one of the most misunderstood women in history. To be entrusted with the responsibility of bringing alive her humanity… her angst, her vulnerabilities, her guilt and her remorse. A woman who changed the course of history. Or perhaps, one could say, set it upon the path it was always destined to take. I am humbled. I am deeply grateful.”

That you will look beyond the perceptions of centuries and embrace her for the pivotal role she played in bringing a divine prophecy to fruition. Jai Shree Ram.”
The star thanked the makers and wrote, “My heartfelt gratitude to @iamnamitmalhotra and @niteshtiwari22 for entrusting me with this extraordinary opportunity. And to my incredible cast and crew… my deepest respect, love and gratitude. It is a privilege to walk this journey with you. I miss my father tremendously today and wish he was here with me to see this. Some stories are not merely told. They are lived, felt and carried within us. This is one such story.”
