Talking about Agastya Nanda’s role he was roped in to play Lord Rama’s younger brother Laxman. However, he has turned down the project owing to prior commitments. A source was quoted telling Rediff, “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.“
