Yash On Playing Ravana In Ramayana
Sharing insights about his costume, Yash admitted that while wearing it made him feel 'powerful', it was also physically taxing. He said, "I have never done anything like this before. Wearing these types of costumes and a crown, it was heavy, I must admit." He shared how they were very particular about the way it looked and chasing the authentic look led to it finally being very heavy. "I had to take it off in between (the shoot). But it was amazing."
Further, the actor added, "Once you get into costume, you start feeling the character. I always have that thing. When I'm in costume and get in front of the camera, that's when I really hit the note."
Speaking about the film’s interpretation of Ravana’s ten heads as depicted in artworks, Yash hinted at a fresh and unconventional approach. He shared that it's a very interesting interpretation that they have in the movie which he doesn't wanna reveal now. "When you watch it, that is going to be one of the most exciting parts of the film - how we are showing that he had ten heads is something very interesting."
