Meanwhile, another report by Rediff revealed another interesting anecdote about Nitesh Tiwari's much-anticipated movie, Ramayana.

"Agastya’s hands are full. He has just completed The Archies with Zoya Akhtar and will be deep-diving into Ekkis with Sriram Raghavan. At this stage of his career, he can hardly afford to play second fiddle to another actor.”
