Sandalwood star Yash recently joined the set of the highly anticipated two-part mythological magnum opus, Ramayana. It’s well known that Yash plays the demon king Ravana in this Nitesh Tiwari directorial. Interestingly, Yash also co-produces the epic in association with Namit Malhotra.
In a latest interview with a national media house, Yash revealed the main reason behind accepting the role of Ravana in Ramayana. “It’s a very fascinating character. I wouldn’t have done it for any other reason. If you had asked me if I would have played any other character in Ramayana, probably not. For me, Ravana is the most exciting character to play as an actor. I like the shades and nuances of this particular character. There is a vast scope to present this character in a different way,’ said Yash.
Ramayana also features Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and South sensation Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita. The film’s first part will be hitting theaters worldwide on November 6, 2026, as a Diwali festive treat. Producers Yash and Namit Malhotra are spending a whopping Rs 800 crore to bring this magnum opus to life. Legendary Indian composer AR Rahman and Hollywood legend Hans Zimmer are working on the film’s soundtrack.
