Reports Suggest Amitabh Bachchan May Lend His Voice to Nitesh Tiwari's "Ramayana"

Recent reports indicate that veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan is in discussions to join the ambitious cinematic project, "Ramayana," directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

It is being widely reported that Bachchan is being considered to provide the voice for the character of Jatayu, the divine vulture.

In addition to voicing Jatayu, sources suggest that the makers are also keen on having Bachchan serve as the film's narrator or sutradhar.
