Actor Yash has opened up about the global scale of Ramayana, defending its international filmmaking style and ambitious vision. The actor, who plays Ravana in director Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic, emphasized that the film is being crafted for audiences across the world — including Western viewers.
Meanwhile, the project is being produced by Namit Malhotra and stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama. As anticipation builds, the film is already being described as one of the most ambitious Indian cinematic ventures ever attempted.
A Global Vision for a Timeless Indian Epic
To begin with, Yash highlighted that Ramayana is being developed with a worldwide audience in mind. According to him, the story holds universal appeal and deserves to be presented on a global stage.
Furthermore, he addressed concerns about the film adopting an international cinematic style. Yash clarified that the intention is not to dilute Indian culture. Instead, the goal is to present the epic in a way that resonates with audiences across different cultures.
At the same time, producer Namit Malhotra described the project as a blend of “East and West.” In other words, the film aims to combine Indian mythology with large-scale cinematic storytelling inspired by global blockbusters.
Designed for Western Audiences Without Losing Authenticity
Additionally, Yash emphasized that Ramayana is a timeless story that connects with people from all backgrounds. Therefore, the team is focusing on making the narrative emotionally relatable while preserving its traditional essence.
Moreover, the makers aim to humanize the characters and present them in a more accessible manner. As a result, international audiences can better connect with the story. This approach, according to the team, will help the film expand beyond Indian markets and reach viewers worldwide.
One of India’s Most Ambitious Film Projects
Notably, Ramayana is planned as a two-part cinematic franchise with a massive budget and cutting-edge visual effects. The film features a powerful cast including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana, and Sai Pallavi as Sita.
In addition, the first installment is expected to release during Diwali 2026, with a sequel already in development. The makers are aiming to match global blockbuster standards with scale, storytelling, and visual spectacle.
Building a Global Indian Blockbuster
Ultimately, Ramayana is shaping up to be one of India’s biggest cinematic projects. With international production values, a global storytelling approach, and a star-studded cast, the film aims to take Indian mythology to audiences worldwide.
In conclusion, Yash summed up the vision clearly — the goal is to bring one of India’s greatest epics to the world in a grand, immersive, and globally appealing cinematic experience.
