Interestingly, Ranbir Kapoor will soon be playing Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. Previously, Alia was also a part of the project but she backed out last year due to dates-related issues.

The Ram Mandir inauguration ceremony is a historic event in which several celebrities including Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, Ayushmann Khurrana, Rishab Shetty, Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan have also been invited. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fame Shailesh Lodha was also snapped at the Mumbai airport recently while he was leaving for Ayodhya.

A few days back, Vindu Dara Singh also reached Ayodhya when he revealed that he would also be performing ‘Ramleela’ at the temple inauguration event. While speaking to the news agency ANI, Vindu Dara Singh said, “I have been invited to perform ‘Ramleela’ in Ayodhya from January 16 to January 22. I am playing the role of Lord Shiva. Ayodhya will become the world’s top pilgrimage site. It is said that Satyayuga is coming even within Kaliyuga, this is happening. This is our Ram ji. Modi ji and Yogi ji are doing so much work and serving the country.”

Hema Malini would also present Ramayana-based dance drama on the Ram Temple consecration day. “I am coming to Ayodhya for the first time at the time of the ‘pran`pratishtha’ of Ram Temple for which people were waiting for years…On January 17, I’ll be presenting a dance drama based on Ramayana in Ayodhya Dham,” she revealed last week.
