The event marked one of the biggest public appearances by the cast, with Yash sharing his excitement about bringing one of Indian mythology’s most iconic characters to life.
Yash Calls Ramayana India Dream Project
Yash said Ramayana is much more than a film and called it “India’s dream project.” According to the actor, everyone involved in the film is working with a shared vision of presenting the timeless epic on a global scale rather than focusing on individual stardom.

Yash on Playing Ravana
Yash admitted that portraying Ravana is one of the most challenging roles of his career. Rather than presenting the character as a one-dimensional villain, the film aims to explore Ravana with greater depth while staying respectful to the epic’s essence.
The actor expressed gratitude to the makers for trusting him with such an iconic role and said being part of Ramayana is both an honour and a huge responsibility. He also revealed that working on the film helped him improve his Hindi while collaborating with the cast and crew.
Praise for Sai Pallavi
Yash also showered praise on Sai Pallavi, who plays Sita, calling her a “flawless actor.” He appreciated her dedication and performance, saying the cast has worked together with complete sincerity to do justice to the beloved epic.
A Global Vision for Ramayana
The makers have positioned Ramayana as one of India’s biggest cinematic projects, featuring cutting-edge visual effects and an international creative team. The first chapter is scheduled for a Diwali 2026 release, with the second part expected in 2027.
