This revelation has ignited debates among fans about the casting decisions, highlighting Shetty's qualifications and the complexities of adapting a revered mythological tale for the screen.
Srinidhi Shetty, a well-known actress and former Miss Supranational 2016, has established herself in the South indian film industry with notable roles in the kgf franchise, earning critical acclaim and a SIIMA Award for Best Actress – Kannada. Her beauty pageant background, marked by her wins for smile, body, and photogenic face, along with her acting prowess, made her a strong contender for the role of Sita, a character symbolizing grace, strength, and divinity. Her experience in high-profile films and her ability to portray complex emotions likely contributed to her screen test for Ramayana.
