Yash Gears Up to Gain Weight for ‘Ravana’ Role in Ranbir Kapoor-starred ‘Ramayana’

To embody the character authentically, the KGF star is preparing to undergo a significant physical transformation, aiming to gain 15 kilograms for the role.

Mumbai: Exciting news for fans of the Rocking Star Yash! Get ready to see more of him in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming epic, Ramayana. Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, alongside Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita and Sunny Deol (reportedly) as Lord Hanuman, the film promises a star-studded cast.

Turning our focus to Yash, reports have circulated that the South superstar will take on the iconic role of Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious project. To embody the character authentically, the KGF star is preparing to undergo a significant physical transformation, aiming to gain 15 kilograms for the role.

A close source exclusively revealed, “Yash has distinct looks planned for his next two films, Toxic and Ramayana. This necessitates him wrapping up Toxic before diving into Ramayana. For Toxic, he adopts a leaner, more sinewy appearance. However, for Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari’s epic, he aims for a bulkier physique. Ravana cannot be portrayed with six-packs. Yash will indulge in a calorie-rich diet post-Toxic, aiming to gain 15 kilograms, only to shed it for KGF: Chapter 3 later.”
