The upcoming film 'Ramayana: Part 1', set to release globally during Diwali 2026, features Yash in a pivotal role as Ravana. Since April, Yash has been engaged in intense shooting at Film City in Goregaon, Mumbai, under the direction of Nitesh Tiwari. The screenplay includes specially crafted long monologues that delve into Ravana's psyche, allowing audiences to grasp his motivations and worldview. This approach aims to foster a deeper connection with the character, rather than merely portraying him as a villain. Yash, who also serves as a producer for the film, emphasized the cultural significance of the Ramayana, which has been a part of Indian history for 5,000 years. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. Ranbir Kapoor praised Yash's portrayal, noting that his unique interpretation of Ravana will resonate with audiences, offering a fresh perspective on the legendary character.
