Yash, known for his impactful roles, is set to make waves as the lead antagonist in 'Ramayana', which will see a grand release in Telugu states under the stewardship of top producer Dil Raju. After a challenging year marked by disappointing results as a distributor, especially following the underperformance of 'Toxic', Dil Raju is now banking on 'Ramayana' to turn the tide.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, 'Ramayana' features an ensemble cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, and Kunal Kapoor. The film is being mounted on a massive budget and is positioned as a mythological epic, aiming for a record release scale in Telugu-speaking regions.
Yash, who holds the South theatrical rights, has entrusted Dil Raju with the Telugu release, a move reportedly linked to clearing dues from the previous project 'Toxic'. The first part of 'Ramayana' is scheduled to hit cinemas on November 5, with paid premieres planned a day earlier on November 4. The timing is expected to give the film a strong start ahead of the festive season, as per industry sources.
With the trailer already generating significant buzz in earlier months, anticipation is high for how this ambitious project will perform at the box office, especially given the star-studded cast and the scale of its production.
