Yash's Unique Approach to Playing Raman

Yash, the talented actor set to portray Raman in the much-anticipated adaptation of "Ramayan," recently opened up about his distinctive preparation methods during a panel discussion at San Diego Comic-Con. He shared that he immerses himself in the character by blasting Shiva songs through large speakers, a practice that humorously disrupts the filming environment. His elaborate costume and grand crown also aid in embodying the character, but the music plays a pivotal role in his transformation.

Director Nitesh Tiwari noted the significant influence of Yash's music on the filming atmosphere. Ranbir Kapoor, who takes on the role of Lord Ram, mentioned that while he hasn't yet filmed alongside Yash, the crew often remarks on how Yash elevates the set's energy whenever he arrives. Yash explained that his intention is to reach a trance-like state through the powerful Shiva melodies, highlighting Raman's deep devotion to Lord Shiva. He acknowledged that the loud music complicates communication with the crew, yet he views it as an essential part of his artistic process.

The excitement surrounding "Ramayan" has surged following the exclusive trailer presentations in New Delhi and at Comic-Con, although the official global trailer launch has been delayed. Producer Namit Malhotra confirmed this postponement, while various clips from both events have begun circulating online. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film boasts a stellar cast, including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Raman, along with other prominent actors.

Set to debut during Diwali 2026, "Ramayan" aims to showcase India's rich cultural heritage on a worldwide stage. Yash expressed his appreciation for the team's shared vision and dedication to narrating Lord Ram's story, emphasizing their collective effort to honor this legendary figure both in India and abroad. The commitment of the cast and crew reflects a unified ambition to celebrate Lord Ram's legacy through this grand cinematic endeavor.
