Mumbai: Actor Yash has opened up about the challenges surrounding Nitesh Tiwari’s much-awaited epic ‘Ramayana’, assuring fans that the ambitious project is being made with the “right intent.”
The actor, who plays Ravana in the film, also spoke about the team’s efforts to bring the mythological epic to the big screen.
“I think intent is the most important thing. You have the right intent and right team. When we have started with the right intent, everything will fall in place,” Yash said.
He added, “I think this story itself has got so much of aspects where we have started with the right intent and we started figuring out so many aspects of life while making this film. And technically, yes, it was demanding.”
“Like make-up to looks, there were so many challenges. But I think eventually, when you are trying to tell a story, that’s why we all are here. We love stories, and we give it all to bring that story most authentically. I think we have been able to do that in a quite good manner, is what I believe,” he said.
The ambitious project features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha.
