Kangana Ranaut to headline period drama ‘The Incarnation – Sita’

Actor Kangana Ranaut is set to play the role of Goddess Sita in her forthcoming epic period drama ”The Incarnation – Sita”, the makers announced on Tuesday.

The film will be directed by Alaukik Desai and backed by producer Saloni Sharma from SS Studio. ”The Incarnation – Sita” has been penned by screenwriter KV Vijayendra Prasad, who also wrote Ranaut’s recent outing ”Thalaivii”.

Sharma said Ranaut is the apt choice to play the titular character.

”As a woman, I couldn’t be happier in welcoming Ms. Kangana Ranaut onboard our Vfx magnum opus, ‘The Incarnation Sita’. Kangana symbolizes the spirit and essence of the Indian woman – fearless, daunting, and daring… It’s time we stepped in to celebrate equality in every respect,” the producer said in a statement.

Ranaut will next be seen in ”Dhaakad” and ”Tejas”, in which she will play the role of an Indian Air Force pilot.
