Actor Yash, also a producing partner on an upcoming two-part 'Ramayana' epic, faced a unique challenge explaining his role as Ravana to his young son. The child was initially shocked, questioning why his father would play the antagonist instead of Lord Rama.
Yash clarified that depicting the full story is essential for understanding. He emphasized that Lord Rama represents the ideal to follow, and while Ravana might appear powerful, lasting victory lies in righteousness. He advised his son to cheer him as an actor but not mistake the character for the ideal.
The son's curiosity extended to the narrative's conclusion, asking if Ravana meets his end and is defeated. Yash found this question challenging, realizing the impact the dramatic role could have on his child, and the importance of distinguishing between an actor and their character.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Prime Focus Studios and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, the first installment of 'Ramayana' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 5, 2026.
