Yash is expanding his imprint on Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana well beyond his roles on camera and behind the scenes.
The superstar, who portrays Ravana and serves as co-producer on the epic alongside Namit Malhotra, will now also handle the film’s theatrical distribution in Karnataka through the newly launched distribution arm of his banner, Monster Mind Creations.
With the establishment of its distribution wing, Monster Mind Creations will aim to expand its presence beyond production, bringing one of the most anticipated releases in Indian cinema history.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.
The film’s distribution spans key domestic and international territories, with Sony Pictures handling international distribution, Dharma Productions, led by Karan Johar, overseeing North India, Dil Raju taking charge of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Monster Mind Creations handling Karnataka, Think Studios managing Tamil Nadu, and E4 Entertainment, headed by Mukesh Mehta, overseeing Kerala.
Envisioned as a two-part epic, Ramayana: Part 1 will release worldwide on November 5 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam across India.
Ramayana will clash with Suriya's much-awaited film with director Jithu Madhavan, Scene. The makers had dropped a teaser of the film, introducing Suriya as an unconventional, chain-smoking cop credited with a staggering 900 criminal arrests, before he's handed a case that upends his usual way of operating.
The first full trailer of Ramayana was unveiled on July 30, offering audiences their biggest look yet at the filmmaker's ambitious adaptation of the Indian epic. Released during the Brahma Muhurat at 4.15 a.m., the trailer introduced the central conflict between Lord Ram and Raavan while showcasing the expansive mythological world recreated for the big screen.
