As per the source, the makers are very keen to keep the looks of Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi simple without heavy jewellery and costumes. 

Undoubtedly, Nitesh Tiwari won't leave any stone unturned for his ambitious project. Following the response of the audience for Prabhas-starrer Adipurush, Tiwari must be extra cautious as Ramayana is connected to the sentiments of every Hindu.

Earlier, reports were abuzz that makers are in talks with Vijay Sethupathi for Vibhishana, Lara Dutta for Queen Kayikeyi, Rakul Preet Singh for Suparnakha and Amitabh Bachchan for King Dasharath. However, there is no official confirmation backing the claims. Fans need to wait for an official announcement about the same from the makers.
