19 Apr
Summary
- Actor Yash aims to portray Ravana with humanistic qualities for relatability.
- The film has a massive combined budget of $500 million for two parts.
- Ramayan Part One is scheduled for a global release on November 8.
Actor Yash detailed his approach to portraying Ravana, emphasizing a humanistic and relatable depiction of the character. He stated, "I have tried to internalize... the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times." This nuanced performance aims to connect with a global audience, acknowledging the film's international ambitions and potential for Western familiarity.
The "Ramayana" films are poised to be a monumental production, with a combined budget reaching up to $500 million. This makes it one of the most expensive film projects globally and the most costly Indian film to date. The epic will unfold in two parts, with "Ramayan Part One" slated for a worldwide release on November 8, coinciding with Diwali. The second film is expected to be released in 2027.
Initial glimpses of the film, including a "Rama glimpse," have showcased impressive visual effects and scale. However, some feedback pointed to Western-inspired character designs for the asuras. Yash acknowledged this, noting the necessity to appeal to a Western audience given the film's global reach. The ensemble cast also features Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman.
