Mumbai: Kannada superstar Yash has revealed that working on ‘Ramayana’ has been a rewarding experience in more ways than one. Speaking at the grand trailer launch in Delhi, he shared that the ambitious mythological epic not only gave him the opportunity to portray a significant character but also helped him learn Hindi.
Expressing his gratitude to producer Namit Malhotra, Yash credited him for bringing him on board and said the project has been a memorable journey, both professionally and personally. Notably, the ‘K.G.F: Chapter 1’ actor also attempted to speak in Hindi during the event.
He said, “Namaskar. I am really happy to be a part of this wonderful project. Sab Hindi mein baat kar rahe hain yahaan. Main bhi koshish karunga. Iss mukaam tak laane ke liye all credit should go to Namit Malhotra. Unhone mujhe yeh patra nibhaane ka avsar diya (laughs), uske liye main unko dhanyawaad kehta hoon. Hindi seekhne ka bhi mauka mila.” ( Everyone here is speaking in Hindi, so I’ll do my best as well. All the credit for bringing me to this point goes to Namit Malhotra. He gave me the opportunity to play this character, and I am sincerely grateful to him for that. This project also gave me the chance to learn Hindi.)
Yash added, “This is India’s dream. We all have come together with one vision and one conviction—to put our story on the global platform. So, all of us are keeping all our interests aside. We have only one interest—to tell Prabhu Shri Ram’s story to the global audience and also to celebrate him in our country. So, thank you, Namit, for having this courage and conviction. Thank you so much, Nitesh sir, for guiding me and helping me understand the character’s nuances.”

He also appreciated Sai Pallavi’s portrayal of Sita, calling her performance a great experience to watch and adding that “her eyes say it all.”
Yash further highlighted Rakul Preet Singh’s portrayal of Surpanakha and praised Shobhana for bringing grace and value to her role.
