‘Ramayana: Part 1’ is set to hit theatres this Diwali, with the second part releasing on Diwali 2027. Ranbir Kapoor explained that the major moments between Ram and Ravana come later in the story, which is why he and Yash haven’t shared screen space so far.As per an India Today report, Ranbir said, “Lord Rama and Ravana will be appearing together at the end of the film, with maybe a meeting in the middle. But we haven’t shot that. So, we haven’t had the opportunity to work together. But I have known Yash for some time now, and I have been a big fan of his work. I truly believe that we needed somebody with his aura, his stardom, his outlook to play this role.”
