Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh said on Instagram Live on Thursday that he liked actor Yash's look as Ravana in the upcoming film 'Ramayana' more than Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Ram. Calling Yash a brother from Bengaluru, Honey Singh said he had watched the teaser and found Yash's screen presence amazing, even though he is a devotee of Lord Ram.
The 43-year-old singer recalled watching Ramlila performances in Delhi and Karampura as a child and urged the filmmakers to stay faithful to the epic's core emotions. He said he hoped the movie does not hurt anyone's sentiments and remains as pure as the Ramayana he grew up watching.
Produced by Namit Malhotra, the first instalment of 'Ramayana' is set to release on November 6, 2026, two days before Diwali. The second part is expected around Diwali 2027, though its exact date is yet to be announced.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Honey Singh's remarks come as the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 'Ramayana' and the Yash-starrer 'Ramayana' are two competing big-budget adaptations of the epic. With both films scheduled for 2026-2027 releases, the battle for box-office supremacy will also test which star's portrayal resonates more with audiences. The singer's comparison, though personal, reflects the high stakes involved: Yash's 'KGF' franchise grossed over Rs 1,000 crore globally, while Ranbir Kapoor's recent 'Animal' crossed Rs 900 crore worldwide. The next concrete date to watch is November 6, 2026, when the first film hits theatres.
