Kangana Ranaut to lead period drama 'The Incarnation - Sita'

MUMBAI: 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 on board 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.
