Yash teams up with 'Mad Max' stunt legend for 'Ramayana'
What's the story
The much-anticipated Indian film, Ramayana, is now rolling at full speed.
Actor-producer Yash, who will portray Ravana in the epic saga, has started shooting for massive action sequences under the guidance of Hollywood's famed stunt director Guy Norris.
Known for his work on Mad Max: Fury Road and The Suicide Squad, Norris is presently in India to choreograph these high-octane scenes.
The actor's dedication
Yash's intense preparation for the 'Ramayana' role
Yash, renowned for his meticulous approach to acting, is reportedly going to film for Ramayana Part 1 for around 60-70 days.
The very first official pictures from the set show him in peak physical form—muscular and intense. This look suggests a grittier, more physically dominant portrayal of Ravana.
The film is being helmed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios in association with Yash's Monster Mind Creations.
