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 on board our Vfx magnum opus, 'The Incarnation: Sita'. Kangana symbolises 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.
