Overview
- Yash, who also produces Nitesh Tiwari’s two‑part Ramayana through Monster Mind Creations, recounted on Saturday that his young son was shocked and told him, “No, you’re the bad guy! How can you do that?”
- He said he had to explain the difference between an actor and a character and told his son that Lord Rama remains the moral ideal in the epic.
- The conversation included the child asking whether Ravana loses and dies in the story, a question Yash described as difficult to answer to protect his son from plot details.
- The anecdote has been used in pre-release publicity to humanize the cast and to underline the filmmakers’ aim to portray Ravana as a more complex figure rather than a simple villain.
- Ramayana’s first instalment is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on Nov. 5, 2026, while a single outlet reports that the second instalment may be delayed into 2028, a detail that remains uncorroborated.
