Yash begins shoot for Ramayana

Ramayana has become one of the most anticipated spectacles in Indian cinema, and the buzz has only grown stronger as actor-producer Yash begins filming for the magnum opus, produced by visionary producer Namit Malhotra. Rocking Star Yash is all set to bring Ravana to life in a larger-than-life action arc, working closely with legendary Hollywood stunt director Guy Norris — celebrated for Mad Max: Fury Road and The Suicide Squad. The film promises to be a landmark in filmmaking— a mythological epic powered by top-tier talent, a world-class VFX team, grand sets and an ensemble cast that brings this story to life.  

Norris is currently in India choreographing elaborate, high-octane action sequences tailored for the scale of Ramayana, with Yash’s character at the center of the storm. Known for his close involvement across all aspects of his projects, Yash is actively collaborating with the team to shape a visual spectacle that pushes the limits of Indian action cinema. He is slated to shoot for 60–70 days for Ramayana Part 1.

Crafted to elevate Indian storytelling for a global stage, Ramayana brings together an extraordinary vision, a stellar ensemble, and world-class talent. With Yash not just leading from the front with Ranbir Kapoor, but also contributing as a co-producer, this is more than just a film — it’s a cinematic milestone in the making. He has been involved with the project from the start, lending his creative insight every step of the way.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana Part 1 is slated for release on Diwali 2026, and the second part on Diwali 2027.
