Costume designer Saniya Sardhariya has revealed that Yash's Ravana outfits in Ramayana were very heavy. Most weighed 16 to 20 kg with jewellery, while a few heavy pieces reached 30 to 33 kg.
The crown was the toughest part to design. Even after many mock 3D versions and attempts to lighten it, it still weighed 1.8 kg.
Yash took the long shoot days in stride and amused the crew by turning the sharp parts of his costume into a playful headache for them. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi star in the film, whose first part is scheduled for Diwali 2026.
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has been warmly praising his son-in-law Ranbir Kapoor after seeing Ramayana Part 1, in which Ranbir plays Rama. His wife Soni Razdan shared his reaction on Instagram with a photo of the two at a Diwali party.
Bhatt has said the film moved him to tears on the big screen. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic, which also stars Yash and Sai Pallavi, earned Rs 107 crore on the Monday after Diwali and has passed Rs 500 crore worldwide.
Actress Indira Krishnan has shared a warm note about the team behind Ramayana, which hit cinemas worldwide on November 5. Posting a photo from the first cast reading session, she said she has watched Ranbir Kapoor grow as an actor, from Animal to this film, and praised his character on and off camera. She also admired Sai Pallavi's gentle nature and spiritual mindset, and Rakul Preet Singh's work as Surpanakha. Indira thanked director Nitesh Tiwari for guiding her through an emotionally charged scene.
