Meanwhile, Lara Dutta, who was rumoured to be playing Kaikeyi in the film, recently addressed the speculations. In an interview with Indianexpress.com, Lara Dutta said, “I am hearing it a lot as well. I am leaving the rumours out there. I also like reading and hearing about them so please continue. Who wouldn't want to be a part of Ramayana? There were so many characters I would have loved to play if it was offered to me – Surpanakha, Mandodari, I am playing them all (laughs).” For those who don't know, the rumours started making rounds after some photos from the sets of Ramayana surfaced online.
