Why did Yash choose to play the role of Ravana instead of Ram in the Rs 1600 crore Ramayana?

Whenever a movie or series is based on the Ramayana, it naturally draws viewers in. The story revolves around the life of Lord Ram, the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu. In the Ramayana, Lord Ram is exiled by his father, King Dasharatha, at the urging of his stepmother Kaikeyi. He is accompanied by his wife Sita and brother Lakshman for 14 years. Sita gets kidnapped by Ravana, the king of Lanka. In the end, Lord Ram defeats Ravana and returns to Ayodhya with Sita and Lakshman.

There are many versions of the Ramayana, and numerous films and OTT series have been made based on it. Ever since the release of the first teaser of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, netizens have been celebrating every moment and scene. The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita.
