A well-placed source told Mid-day, “We’re exploring the idea of having Bachchan as the sutradhar. His voice adds gravitas that no one else can match. The makers are keen that the film opens with his voice. It’s still at the discussion stage.” This might be a deterrent in the actor's already signed role of giving the voice to the character of Jatayu. Addressing the same, the source told the publication, “While the clash is a concern, there will be ways to work it out on a creative level. Having him open the film and be the spiritual narrator will have a strong impact.” While this is a strong speculation, the makers of Ramayana have not revealed any details about the film yet.
