Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana is facing its first public test — and Yash, the man playing Ravana, just took the stand. At a pre-release event in Hyderabad on Monday, the Kannada star didn’t mince words: he asked fans to stop nitpicking the film’s VFX. 'Please don't try to find small faults,' he said, calling out the growing chatter around visual effects that some say fall short of the epic’s ambition.
The stakes? High. Malhotra, who’s bankrolled the project with his own money and reputation, is now on the line. Yash made it personal: this isn’t just a movie.
It’s Malhotra’s life’s work, a dream he carried from Los Angeles, where he was already successful, but never satisfied. He wanted India’s cinema to be seen globally, not just celebrated at home. That’s what drove him to take on Ramayana. And now, as Part 1 heads for a November 5, 2026, release, Yash is asking audiences to give it space.
