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'.

OG Sita from Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan unhappy with Arun Govil's casting as Dasharath in Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana?
Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is one of the most anticipated movies in Bollywood. The film boasts an ensemble cast of stars, including Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, Ravie Dubey, and many more. Veteran actor Arun Govil, who played the role of Lord Rama in Ramanand Sagar's 1987 TV series, Ramayan, has been cast as King Dasharath in Ramayana. Now, his co-star Dipika Chikhlia seems unhappy with his casting. Dipika Chikhlia on Arun Govil Playing Dasharath: "It Feels Out of Context" In an interview with The Times of India, Dipika Chikhlia shared her thoughts on how she perceives Arun Govil being cast as Lord Rama's father, King Dasharath, in the Ramayana. Admitting that Chikhlia finds it difficult to relate to, the actress said, "For me to see him as Dasharath is really a little out of context." Chikhlia, who played the role of Goddess Sita in the iconic TV show Ramayan, emphasized that it is his "personal choice" to nod for the role. However, for her, it is challenging to break Govil's long-standing image as Lord Ram. "If you played Ram, then you are Ram," the actress added.

The 60-year-old actress further shared that the makers did not "bothered to speak to her" about it.
