About Ramayana trailer
The trailer opens with Ravana arriving at a palace and knocking on its massive doors, only to receive a hostile welcome. It goes on to introduce the actor’s powerful performance as Ravana, as he wrecks havoc and seeks revenge. Fans singled out Yash’s performance from the trailer and praised him on social media. Now, National Award-winning actor Rishab Shetty, who starred in Kantara, has hailed the trailer and gave particular praise to fellow Kannada actor Yash.
Taking to X, Rishab wrote, “It’s not easy to convince people with the stories and characters of our epics. We have all grown up listening to them, and each of us carries our own imagination of these timeless legends. Hats off to the team for creating such an incredibly convincing world. @niteshtiwari22 @malhotra_namit, take a bow.”
He added, “I can relate to the pressure an actor feels while portraying such iconic characters. Every single actor has embraced that responsibility and delivered a brilliant performance. @raviedubey @Sai_Pallavi92 @Rakulpreet. @arrahman @HansZimmer, every emotion has been beautifully underlined by your music. What a phenomenal score.”

I don’t think anyone else could have done justice to that character. I am running short of words to tell more about your brilliant performance but one thing , as a kannadiga you have always made us feel proud.”
