In an interview Bhansali revealed that he met Padukone with the script while she was ill; impressed with her beauty and watery eyes, he cast her.[19] Richa Chadda was reportedly signed on to play a significant role, cast by Shruti Mahajan and Parag Mehta.[20] Although she initially denied the claim,[21] Chadda later agreed to play the role; she was not given the entire script until a month of filming.[22][23]For Chadda's role, Bhansali wanted someone "with a dusky complexion and Indian features", hence she was selected. Bhansali ordered Chadda to watch Mirch Masala to prepare for her look, which was inspired by Smita Patil. Chadda also attempted to mimic Patil's acting.[24] Barkha Bisht Sengupta, a television actress, plays a supporting role.[25] Sengupta was asked by Bhansali to forget acting for her role.[26] Gulshan Devaiah was reported to play the role of the antagonist Bhavani. Devaiah said that his character was from the Jadeja clan and has "enough shades of grey" and was "nothing" like he had done in his career at that point.[27] Devaiah felt that other than the basic frame, Ram-Leela wasn't similar to Romeo and Juliet.[28]
