Yash shares Ravana family post as Ramayana hits ₹673.90 crore
Yash shared a rare Ravana family post and thanked fans after Ramayana: Part 1 grossed ₹673.90 crore worldwide in five days, per Sacnilk.
Yash ended a careful social-media pause with a Diwali post that paired gratitude for Ramayana: Part 1 and a goofy family moment in his Ravana look.
The Kannada star had kept his accounts largely promotional since his last release, Toxic, opened in August to a lukewarm response. In a new joint post with wife Radhika Pandit, he shared vacation photos with children Arya and Yatharv, along with a behind-the-scenes still from the Ramayana set.
Ravana goes home for Diwali
In the behind-the-scenes image, Yash wears the tattered costume his character wears before Ravana becomes king of Lanka. His intense look is mirrored playfully by his children. “Wishing you all a very Happy Deepavali. Thank you for the love,” the actor wrote in the caption.
The post quickly drew warmth from the film fraternity. Director Nitesh Tiwari and Toxic co-star Akshay Oberoi left heart emojis, while Nayanthara, Sobhita Dhulipala, Bhumi Pednekar and Dulquer Salmaan were among the names liking the update.
Ramayana’s five-day run
Released on November 5 for Diwali, Ramayana: Part 1 opened to mixed reviews but has since shown improvement. Trade website Sacnilk reports the film has grossed ₹673.90 crore worldwide in five days.
The film also had international premieres before its Diwali release, widening its early footprint. A quick look at the project:
- Director: Nitesh Tiwari, who co-wrote the screenplay with Shridhar Raghavan.
- Cast: Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana and Yash as Ravana.
- Producers: Namit Malhotra and Yash.
- Voice and future cast: Anupam Kher voices Jatayu; Sunny Deol is set to play Hanuman in the second part.
- Sequel: Ramayana: Part 2 is scheduled for Diwali 2028.
What the first part sets up
The story traces Ravana’s rise to becoming king of Lanka and Rama’s path as the potential king of Ayodhya. It moves through Rama and Sita’s wedding and her 14-year vanavas before Ravana abducts her, and it closes with Rama vowing to save her. A mid-credits scene teases Hanuman’s entry.
Why the family post lands differently
For Yash, the post is a soft reset after a big release underperformed. A strong five-day total for Ramayana, combined with the industry’s visible engagement, suggests his Ravana turn is being judged on its own terms rather than as a rebound from Toxic.
It also gives fans a glimpse of his life without crossing into private territory—exactly the kind of celebrity-first update that keeps the Ramayana conversation warm between box office milestones.
