South Indian superstar Yash, famous for his role in the KGF series, is set to make his Bollywood debut grandly. He will star as the iconic character Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari‘s upcoming film, Ramayana.
The film also features renowned actors Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi in lead roles. Excitingly, Yash will be donning outfits made of real gold for his character.
Here’s Why Makers Decided The Costume Made By Real Gold For Yash
According to IANS reports, the decision to use real gold for Yash’s costumes was made to capture the grandeur of Ravana, the legendary king of Lanka, which was known as a golden province. This choice aims to highlight Ravana’s majestic and opulent persona, making the portrayal as authentic as possible.
Yash is not just stepping into Bollywood but is also undergoing a significant physical transformation for this role. He is set to gain 15 kilograms to embody the imposing figure of Ravana, adding to the film’s authenticity.
Yash Is Also Co-Producing Ramayana
In another significant development, Yash is also co-producing Ramayana through his production company, Monster Mind Creations, in collaboration with Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios. Malhotra, the Global CEO of DNEG, has been planning this project for several years, aiming to create a definitive cinematic rendition of the epic tale.
The film will be a two-part saga, with shooting for both parts occurring simultaneously. This approach is taken to maintain continuity and cohesion in the storytelling.
A source close to the production revealed to Pinkvilla that the team has planned an extensive 350-day shooting schedule. This includes scenes with the entire ensemble cast and individual sequences. The source also mentioned that a substantial portion of the second part would be filmed even before the first part’s release.
