The spiritual leader replied, “I don’t know how Yash became Ravana. I know him very well.” Namit tried to explain and said, “It’s because we were almost looking at a superstar-level person to come and play that role.”However, Sadhguru seemed unconvinced, detailing his idea of what a villain should look like. He said, “A villain always means he has a blunt nose and a large stature. But Yash is a handsome man.” Namit agreed and said, “Yes, very handsome and very talented star in the country and incredibly loved. So, the whole idea was, how do we try him?”But Sadhguru persisted, saying, “Somehow, have you noticed villains always have a blunt nose, not a sharp nose?” Namit smiled at that and tried to explain why he cast Yash, saying, “That’s a new learning for me, I will look into it. But there had to be a lot of shades of Ravana in terms of why he was who he was. And he was a devout believer of Shiva.”About RamayanaRamayana is a two-part film directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra. It is one of India’s most ambitious projects yet. Apart from Ranbir, Sai and Yash, Ramayana will star Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman. The film’s two parts are scheduled to release in Diwali 2026 and 2027.
