Ranbir Kapoor says the climax of Ramayan is yet to be shot with Yash
Those who are waiting to see Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Ram take on Yash’s Ravana will have to be patient. The actors are still to film their important scenes together, with Ramayan: Part 1 releasing this Diwali and the climactic showdown is set to release in the second installment on Diwali 2027.
Fans eager to see Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Ram and Yash’s Ravana share the screen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayan will have to wait a little longer. Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con, Ranbir revealed that the much-awaited face-off between the two characters has not been filmed yet, while the first installment is gearing up for a Diwali release.
Ramayana: Part 1 It is expected to release this Diwali, while the second installment will hit the theaters on Diwali 2027. Expectations are already high for Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s on-screen clash, with the actor saying that the biggest moments between Lord Ram and Ravana appear later in the story, which is why the two have not shot together yet.
Talking about sharing the screen with Yash, Ranbir said, “Lord Ram and Ravana will be seen together at the end of the film, maybe there will be a meeting in the middle. But we haven’t shot it. So, we haven’t had the opportunity to work together. But, I have known Yash for quite some time now, and I have been a huge fan of his work. I really believe that we needed someone with his aura, his stardom, his attitude to play this role.”
Ranbir Kapoor on Yash’s ‘swag, aura’
Ranbir also praised Yash’s portrayal of Ravana and said that the actor has moved away from the traditional image associated with the character.
He added, “He has played it with so much swag, aura and sincerity that he has really brought Ravana alive. Over the years, we have had a very stereotypical portrayal of Ravana, but not this.”
