Yash has praised Ranbir Kapoor’s commitment to portraying Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. While Yash plays Ravana, Sai Pallavi appears as Sita in the two-part mythological epic.

Yash Praises Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Rama Portrayal

Yash has expressed strong confidence in his Ramayana co-star Ranbir Kapoor, saying audiences will witness a wonderful portrayal of Lord Rama in the upcoming film. According to Yash, Ranbir approached the sacred character with sincerity, respect and a clear understanding of the responsibility involved. He praised the actor’s hard work and dedication, suggesting that Ranbir’s performance could become one of the film’s major highlights.

Yash also highlighted Ranbir Kapoor’s humility while discussing why he believes the actor is the right choice for the role. He said Ranbir respected the character deeply and worked extremely hard to present Lord Rama with dignity and authenticity. The actor’s calm personality, disciplined preparation and dedication reportedly impressed Yash during the production. His comments have further increased expectations surrounding Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Rama role.

Yash Discusses the Challenge of Playing Ravana

While praising his co-star, Yash also opened up about the challenge of portraying Ravana. The character has been presented by several celebrated actors across films, television shows and stage productions over many decades. Yash acknowledged that audiences already have a strong image of Ravana, making it difficult for a new performance to feel distinctive without losing the essence of the legendary figure.

The actor explained that his goal was to offer a fresh yet authentic interpretation of Ravana. Rather than simply repeating familiar versions of the character, Yash appears focused on exploring Ravana’s intelligence, power, complexity and emotional depth. His casting has generated widespread attention because it marks a major mythological role following his success in large-scale action films. The contrast between Yash as Ravana and Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama is expected to become one of the central attractions of the movie.

Nitesh Tiwari Leads the Grand Mythological Project

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana brings together a prominent cast for an ambitious cinematic adaptation of the Indian epic. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi appears as Sita and Yash takes on the role of Ravana. The combination of major stars, large-scale production and a culturally significant story has positioned the project among the most anticipated Indian films.

The makers are expected to balance visual spectacle with emotional storytelling while presenting the familiar epic to modern audiences. With Nitesh Tiwari directing the project, attention remains focused on how the film will portray its revered characters and important events without losing the spiritual and cultural depth of the original story.

Ramayana Planned as a Two-Part Release

The first instalment of Ramayana is scheduled for release during Diwali 2026, while the second part is planned for 2027. The two-part format is expected to give the filmmakers enough space to develop the story and its central characters in greater detail. As anticipation grows, Yash’s praise for Ranbir Kapoor’s performance has added further excitement around the film. Audiences will now be waiting to see how Ranbir’s Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi’s Sita and Yash’s Ravana come together on the big screen.
