Hindi and Marathi film director Om Raut will be directing the movie and according to the poster, Prabhas is expected to play the role of Lord Ram in the project. This will be Raut's first collaboration with Prabhas and second with Saif Ali Khan after 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior'. 

The genre and plot of the movie has not been officially disclosed yet but Pinkvilla has speculated the film may be based on the Hindu epic Ramayana. Similarly, there have been no confirmed reports on the Bollywood actress who will be playing the role of goddess Sita in the movie. 

Online publications have suggested that the leading lady’s role could be played by Anushka Sharma, Anushka Shetty or Kiara Advani. As per a Mumbai Mirror report, the makers have roped in Kriti Sanon to play the lead opposite Prabhas in the upcoming epic 3D action-drama. However, there has been no official confirmation from the team or the actress herself.
