Yash has confirmed his role as co-producer in Ritesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated Ramayana, a project that has been generating significant buzz prior to its official announcement. The star-studded epic, considered one of Indian cinema’s most expensive ventures, features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, with Yash joining the cast as Raavan. Not only will Yash play a pivotal role in the film, but he will also contribute as a co-producer.
Speaking to Variety, Yash expressed his longstanding desire to elevate Indian cinema on a global stage. During a trip to Los Angeles to collaborate with a leading VFX studio, Yash found common ground with fellow Indian, Namit, who shared his vision. Together, they identified Ramayana as a potential project, aligning their creative aspirations for Indian cinema. Yash emphasized the personal significance of Ramayana and his intent to translate its timeless narrative into a captivating cinematic experience that resonates with audiences worldwide.
The filming for Ramayana has commenced, with recent leaks from the sets prompting director Nitesh Tiwari to implement stringent measures to prevent further disclosures. A strict “no-phone policy” has been enforced, with only essential cast and crew permitted on set during filming. Despite these challenges, the production remains committed to delivering an authentic portrayal of the revered epic, aiming to share its enduring values and universal themes with a global audience.
