Sharma said Ranaut is the apt choice to play the titular character. "As a woman, I couldn't be happier in welcoming Ms Kangana Ranaut onboard our Vfx magnum opus, The Incarnation Sita. Kangana symbolizes the spirit and essence of the Indian woman - fearless, daunting, and daring... It's time we stepped in to celebrate equality in every respect," the producer said in a statement.

Ranaut will next be seen in Dhaakad and Tejas, in which she will play the role of an Indian Air Force pilot.
