Actor Yash recently detailed a poignant conversation with his seven-year-old son, Yatharv, about his casting as Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's "Ramayana: Part 1." Yatharv, having grown up hearing the epic from his grandparents, was perplexed that his father, whom he views as his hero, would portray the antagonist.
Yatharv's primary question, "Who do I root for?" prompted Yash to explain the distinction between the moral lessons of the Ramayana and his professional acting role. He elaborated that while Lord Rama embodies the ideal to follow, his character as Ravana might appear captivating on screen.
Yash stressed that he had not anticipated his son's reaction, focusing more on fan perceptions. He assured Yatharv that he was merely playing a character and that it was acceptable to support him in the film while understanding the story's true essence.
"Ramayana: Part 1" is set to release on November 5, 2026. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. This epic mythological action film is part of a two-part franchise, with a combined reported budget of Rs 4,000 crore.
