Actress Anjali Arora is set to portray Mata Sita in the upcoming mythological film Shri Ramayan Katha, directed by Abhishek Singh. The actress has described the opportunity as a blessing and recalled how she was first approached for the role.
Anjali said that she regularly visits a Hanuman temple every Tuesday and prays for what is meant for her. She connected the opportunity to play Mata Sita with those prayers, saying she felt the role may have come to her as a blessing.
Recalling the initial meeting with the director, Anjali said Abhishek Singh showed her an AI-generated image depicting her as Sita. She was surprised by the image and initially questioned whether the filmmaker genuinely believed she could take on the role. According to the actress, Singh encouraged her to accept the character.
Anjali said she took some time to consider the opportunity before deciding to take it up. She explained that she wanted to approach the character sincerely and understand the qualities associated with Mata Sita, including patience and sacrifice.
The actress also said that the audience would ultimately decide whether her portrayal connects with them. She noted that an actor’s responsibility is to give their best to the character, while the audience determines how the performance is received.
Shri Ramayan Katha is directed by Abhishek Singh and features Dev Sharma as Shri Ram, Anjali Arora as Mata Sita and Rajniesh Duggall as Ravan. Sheel Verma and Nirbhay Wadhwa are also part of the cast, playing Lakshman and Hanuman respectively. The film is scheduled to release in cinemas across India on September 25, 2026.
