Tired of too many ads? go ad free now
As per the latest reports, fans who expect to see a full performance from the 'KGF' star in the first part may have to wait.
According to a recent report by Telly Chakkar, Yash's role in Ramayana: Part 1 will be limited to just 15 minutes. Although this news may come as a shock to many people, it seems that there may be a purposeful decision behind this. The first film is focused on Lord Rama's journey from Ayodhya to being exiled in the forest, and the attention is on Ranbir's character.
According to the report, Yash's portrayal of Ravana may come during the second installment, which means the makers of 'Ramayana: Part 2' will have other important aspects of the character they laid groundwork for with Part 1 and may have a lot more time with Ravana moving forward.
However, the makers are yet to make any official confirmation.
The first look that the makers released certainly teases an epic film, with over-the-top action and grand visuals, accompanied by an equally grand score from legendary composers Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman. While Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Maa Sita are drawing major attention, Ravi Dubey and Sunny Deol will play Lakshmana and Hanuman, respectively.
'Ramayana' will be released in two parts; the first will be released in theatres during Diwali 2026, and the second in Diwali 2027.
On the other hand, Yash is also working on his gangster drug mafia film, 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups'.

Meiyazhagan director Prem Kumar says ‘paid reviewers' are targeting Tamil films during the first week of release: 'It is very uncivilised...'
Filmmaker Prem Kumar recently shared his concerns regarding the growing influence of paid reviews in Tamil cinema. Prem was seen having a candid conversation with Telugu director Vivek Athreya , Kannada filmmaker Hemanth Rao, and Malayalam director Christo Tomy in a recent directors' roundtable, where he spoke about the increasing trend of negative campaigns against films. Prem Kumar about negative campaign against movies Meiyazhagan - Official Teaser Speaking at the South Directors Roundtable during the 7th Indian Screenwriters Conference, Prem strongly criticised what he sees as the harmful impact of 'negative reviews' during the crucial first week of a film's release. 'Negative reviews have become a big problem in Tamil cinema. It's getting worse day by day, week after week,' he said. The 96 director drew a clear distinction between traditional film critics and the current wave of online reviewers. 'We used to have reviewers. The breed we have now are not reviewers; their target is different. It's very uncivilised — the language they use, the way they speak, and what they target,' he remarked. Prem Kumar slams paid reviewers The filmmaker went on to accuse many of these reviewers of having questionable motives. He claimed they attempt to influence the box office performance of films in the first week. He believes that most of these reviewers affect the box office collections during the first week, and later, producers approach them for their next project. He added that 90 percent of the reviews circulating on social media are now paid, and this heavily influences people's decision on whether to watch a film or not. 'I hope producers come up with a regulation for this,' Prem added. Prem Kumar's projects Prem Kumar's recent film Meiyazhagan, featuring Arvind Swami and Karthi, received a warm reception from both fans and critics. He is now gearing up to helm the much-anticipated sequel to 96, starring Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha Krishnan .

I waited for the kind of visibility that only films can bring: Anusha Rai
After her stint on reality show , actor is ready to turn a new page with her upcoming film Sangeetha Bar and Restaurant, where she stars opposite Komal. Directed by Sandesh Shetty Ajri, the film marks her first project post the reality show. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'I heard many scripts after being a part of the reality show, but I didn't want to repeat roles. This film felt fresh as it offers me two contrasting characters, Sangeetha and Sahithya, and that complexity drew me in. The historical touch in the narrative also intrigued me,' says Anusha, who is now eight films old in the Kannada industry. Reflecting on how far she's come without any industry backing, she says, 'I never imagined I'd be here this long. In the beginning, newcomers take whatever comes their way. But now, I feel it's time to be more intentional. People recognise me, and that gives me the confidence to choose roles that elevate my career.' She then shares that despite several offers in Television, she decided to stay focused on cinema. 'I wanted to be seen on the big screen, and I'm glad that's happening. Television gave me options, but I held out for the kind of visibility that only films can bring,' she tells us.
