Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has become one of the most eagerly awaited films in Indian cinema. The film is gaining traction each day, and now, with superstar Yash officially beginning his shoot, excitement has reached new heights.
Yash’s Fierce Transformation as Ravana
Photos from the set recently went viral, revealing Yash deep in preparation to portray Ravana in a powerful and intense avatar. The actor appeared in top physical shape ripped, focused, and ready for battle. He is reportedly undergoing intense action training under the guidance of acclaimed Hollywood stunt director Guy Norris, known for Mad Max: Fury Road and The Suicide Squad. Currently in India, Norris is choreographing elaborate action sequences tailored specifically to Yash’s role, promising a visually grand and action-heavy portrayal.
Limited Screen Time With Ranbir Kapoor
While Yash plays the mighty Ravana, Ranbir Kapoor has been cast as Lord Ram. However, fans hoping for on-screen confrontations between the two might be disappointed. Sources reveal that, in line with Valmiki’s Ramayana, Ram and Raavan do not meet until the climactic battle in Lanka. Their journeys run parallel, with no interaction until the final war, staying true to the epic’s structure.
