Not Ranveer Singh But First Poster Of Ram Leela Featured Ranbir Kapoor, Reveals Writer
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s blockbuster Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela clocked 10 years on November 15, and even after a decade, the film remains one of the most iconic trendsetters in Bollywood. The film not just gave the audience the sizzling jodi of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone on screen, but in real lives too, the duo found their happily ever after in each other.
While it is a known fact now that Deepika was not the original choice for Ram Leela, and instead, it was Kareena Kapoor Khan who was chosen by Bhansali as the female lead, not many know that before Ranveer, Ranbir Kapoor was the ace filmmaker’s first choice for the character of Ram.
In fact, the filmmaker was so keen on casting Ranbir in the film that he had even shot the film’s poster with him in which the actor was seen sporting the look of Ram.
Garima, who was one of the writers of Ram Leela, recently revealed that when Bhansali first narrated the concept of the film to the team, they presented them with two posters, one of which featured Ranbir as Ram.
“The first poster that we saw was actually Ranbir Kapoor on a bike in the avatar of Ram which he must have clicked many years ago when he was shooting a film with him,” she shared.
“The heroine on the poster was Sonam Kapoor which could have been only a reference picture,” she added.
Garima further stated that when Ranveer was later brought on board, Kareena was the obvious choice opposite him, but that idea fell apart and eventually, Deepika bagged the role.
As Ram Leela clocked a decade on November 15, Ranveer took to his Instagram handle to share a slew of BTS photos from the sets of the magnum opus.
“10 years of RamLeela – the one that changed our lives forever … in more ways than one!” he captioned the post.
In the photos, he can be seen posing with Deepika, Bhansali, and also Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who performed a special song in the film.

Mithun Chakraborty’s Wallet Gets Stolen During BJP Roadshow In Jharkhand, Organisers Request Pickpockets To Return It
Actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty found himself in a sticky situation after his wallet was stolen from his pocket during his mega roadshow in Jharkhand on Tuesday. The actor campaigned for BJP in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, and that is when he got pickpocketed, leaving the organisers red-faced.
A video from the rally has now gone viral in which the organisers and other BJP karyakartas can be heard repeatedly requesting the pickpockets to return the veteran star’s wallet. “Whoever has stolen the wallet, please return it to Mithun Da,” a BJP member was seen urging the crowd.
Despite repeated pleas, the wallet was not returned.
Chakraborty led a massive roadshow in the Nirsa Assembly area of Jharkhand to extend his support to BJP candidate Aparna Sen Gupta. Thousands of people gathered at the venue to catch one glimpse of the star, and it led to major chaos and mismanagement at the spot.
Despite security forces in place, the crowd went out of control and rushed towards the stage to click photos and videos of the actor and see him from up close. It was during this chaos that Chakraborty’s wallet was stolen.
Disappointed by the fiasco, Chakraborty concluded the event sooner than expected and rushed back to safety.

Alice Kaushik ‘Cuddles’ Avinash Mishra As They Share A Bed, Viral Photo Leaves Bigg Boss 18 Fans Divided
Bigg Boss 18 contestants Alice Kaushik and Avinash Mishra have sparked a heated debate online after a photo showed them sharing a bed and cuddling. While the two actors have maintained that they share a close friendship, their recent cozy moment has left fans divided, with some defending their bond and others questioning the boundaries of friendship. For those unversed, Alice is dating her Pandya Store co-star Kanwar Dhillon.
In the photo, which has now circulated widely on social media, Alice and Avinash are seen lying in bed together, with Alice resting comfortably in Avinash’s arms under a blanket.
Netizens react to Alice and Avinash’s viral photo
Some fans viewed the moment as harmless and said that platonic cuddling shouldn’t be criticised. However, a section of netizens tagged the official social media account of Kanwar and asked if this is normal. They pointed out that since Alice has a committed relationship outside the Bigg Boss house, the cuddle might be inappropriate given her personal commitments.
“We are not in their boots, they are matured adults . Let them decide for their own,” a user commented.
“At a moment cuddle is ok..but in night sharing a bed and cuddling like this …when someone is married…i don’t know how his partner can’t have problem in this,” wrote another user.
Another user wrote, “He even kissed her stomach a few days ago. It would’ve been totally okay if both were single but with Alice having marriage plans outside and Avinash hitting on Eisha, this is weird.”
Alice has been in a relationship with Kanwar since several years. The actress, in one of the initial episodes of the show, had revealed how Kanwar proposed to her for marriage. However, Kanwar, in a few interviews outside the show denied this statement of the actress and stated that he did not propose her for marriage but said that she is the kind of girl one would get married to.
This statement of Kanwar was revealed to Alice in one of the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes of the show by host Salman Khan, which led to the actress breaking down.
Reacting to it, Kanwar told ETimes, “Woh duniya ka kaam hai, tawa garam tha aur roti sekhne aa gaye. They just commented watching the promo and did not understand what I was trying to say. Those who have a doubt can call me and ask. I don’t think I need to clarify to those whom I do not know. When things are good, people don’t come to ask right? So what’s the point of poking their nose when something else happens? I know what I was saying, so I do not want to waste my energy in explaining.”
