Contrary to rumours, Kangana Ranaut’s Sita is very much on schedule. Manoj Muntashir, who is working on the screenplay and the lyrics, says, “We have locked the screenplay and are currently working on the dialogues. We will start the pre-production in September. Our director Alaukik Desai is a perfectionist; he is working on a water-tight script and production design before taking it on floors.” Reiterating that the movie will be made with Kangana, the writer-lyricist shares that she has loved the script. “She is our Sita beyond any reasonable doubt.” When probed about the reason for the delay since its announcement, Manoj asserts, “This much time is normal for a film of such magnitude.” He also revealed that Alaukik is working on the protagonist’s looks and planning workshops before they begin filming. Work on the soundtrack is also underway. He avers, “We will lock music by November. Since I am the common link between the script and the songs, I must get one job done before getting on to the other.” Manoj sums it up saying, “Sita is a film that must be made and we have everything under control.”
