However, questions are there whether the rumour has any truth in it or not as veteran writer K Vijayendra Prasad has rubbished it while speaking to SpotboyE.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, who got married to his colleague Saif Ali Khan, had earlier faced public ire for naming their son after Turco-Mongol conqueror Taimur.

Regarding Ramayana film, actors Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan were also speculated to play the roles of Sita and Ram respectively.
