Sai Pallavi is set for a crucial month at the box office, with two of her most-awaited films scheduled to hit the screens in November.
Sai Pallavi plays Goddess Sita in “Ramayana: Part 1”, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film is slated for release on November 6, coinciding with the Diwali festival.
Her casting as Sita has already drawn criticism from some sections of social media, particularly in North India, with a few public figures and social media users questioning her suitability for the role. The film will therefore be an important release for Sai Pallavi, as audiences will get their first look at her portrayal of the iconic character.
Adding to the challenge, her Tamil film “Om”, starring Dhanush, has been rescheduled from October to November 20. Sai Pallavi plays one of the female leads alongside Sreeleela. The film is also positioned as a major release and marks her return to Tamil cinema after a considerable gap.
With two big films arriving within a fortnight, November could prove to be an important month for Sai Pallavi. The performances of both films at the box office will also provide a fresh indication of her popularity and theatrical pull across multiple markets.
