Sadhguru Engages in Lively Debate on ‘Ramayana’ Casting with Producer Namit Malhotra
Sadhguru on Ramayana Casting: Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has questioned the casting of Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana'. Sadhguru seemed unhappy with the casting of both Ranbir and Yash. He explained the specific reason...
Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer 'Ramayana' has been in constant discussion. Everyone seems very excited about the film. The casting of the film is also always in the news. Now, spiritual guru Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has expressed surprise at Yash being cast as Ravana in the film.
Jagi Vasudev spoke with 'Ramayana' producer Namit Malhotra on the YouTube channel of Sadhguru and the World of Ramayana. During this, Jaggi Vasudev expressed surprise at Yash's casting as Ravana. During this, Namit Malhotra explained that when we were going through the process of creating this entire universe, I felt it was very important to choose this character. Actually, I was looking for who would be the ideal Raavan. Jaggi Vasudev replied, "I don't know how Yash became Raavan. I know him very well. A villain always means he has an ugly, less pointed nose and a very tall build. Whereas Yash is a handsome man."
Namit defended his statement, emphasizing that it was because we were looking for someone of almost superstar stature for the role. He is very handsome and a very talented star in the country, and is very well-liked. So our effort was to see how we could approach him. The idea was to have many versions of Raavan as he was.
