Mumbai: Yash’s rugged, fierce avatar in ‘Toxic’ teaser has set social media abuzz, with fans saying the actor is the perfect choice to play Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’.
Several users even claimed that Yash could “easily overshadow” lead actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is reportedly playing Lord Ram in the upcoming epic.
After the teaser was released on Friday, a Reddit user shared a screenshot of Yash’s intense look from the film and captioned it as, “Felt like he can pull off Ravana’s rage in Ramayana movie after seeing this.”
In the screenshot, Yash is seen sitting in a bathtub, st
aring furiously at someone, with eyes filled with rage.
Reacting to the post, one commented, “He’s definitely well-suited for Ravana.”
Another wrote, “Yes… This exact moment, this exact expression, reminded me of Ravan’s rage moment. The moustache also helps in visualisation.”
Suggesting Yash could overshadow Ranbir in Ramayana, one commented, “Yash will definitely pull off Ravana, and he will overshadow Ranbir easily.”
Another wrote, “Would be hilarious if he ends up outshining Ranbir Kapoor in the movie.”
One added, “Just perfect choice for Ravana role.”
