Tamil Actor going to Hindi :
Prakash Raj plays Ravana opposite Devgan's Ram
By Subhash K. Jha,
Mumbai, April 1 Director Rajkumar Santoshi has selected South
Indian actor Prakash Raj to play Ravana opposite Ajay Devgan as
Ram in his much-touted "Ramayan".
"It's a decision we took after much deliberation. We have
decided to take north Indian actors as members of King
Dasharath's clan. Hence Ajay plays Ram and Riteish Deshmukh has
been finalised to play Lakshmann. All of Ravana's clan will be
cast from the south," Santoshi told IANS.
He is currently putting finishing touches to his Ajay-Vidya
Balan starrer "Hallabol", and also trying to get Salman Khan's
dates for his dream project "London Dreams" in place.

There's also a comedy that Santoshi is planning to make with
Pankaj Kapoor and his son Shahid.
"I've met both and the project is on. It will be an out-and-out
slapstick comedy with Pankaj-ji and Shahid as father and son. I
haven't returned to comedy since 'Andaz Apna Apna'. It's time I
had myself some laughs," said the prolific director.
Prakash Raj is a well-known Telugu actor. He was recently
offered to play Veerappan in a film that the bandit's wife
wanted to produce. But he declined the offer.
