Ranbhir Kapoor in Lord Shiva Role

Ranbir has shown his versatility with films like ‘Rockstar’, ‘Barfi’ and ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’. And if reports are to be believed, the actor has been chosen by Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji to play Lord Shiva in the movie adaptation of the best-selling novel 'Immortals of Meluha'.

The rights of ‘Immortals of Meluha’ have apparently been bought by Karan Johar and the film will be directed by Ayan Mukerji.

It is learnt that Karan was keen to direct the film himself. But, due to lack of time he has handed over the project to Ayan Mukerji. 

There were rumours of Shahid playing the lead role in the film. However, it seems that both Karan and Ayan are keen to cast Ranbir as their Lord Shiva.
