Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari recently started the shooting of his much anticipated film Ramayana. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Earlier, Yash was rumoured to play Ravana. Now, as per a Zoom report, the actor has joined the film only as a producer.
How is Yash a part of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana
A source told Zoom, “Yash desisted the offer to play Ravana for a long time. He agreed finally only as a producer. Rather than accept a fee (of around ₹80 crore), he agreed to come on board as a producer.” Reportedly, Nitesh Tiwari was “very upset” about the leaked images revealing the cast’s outfits and characters. He has imposed a strict no-phone policy on the sets of the film.
