Pan-India star Yash, appearing on India TV's Aap Ki Adalat, addressed the reported Rs 4,000 crore budget for Nitesh Tiwari's two-part epic Ramayana. He defended the scale, saying the investment matches the grandeur needed for the mythological story. Yash will play Ravana, while Ranbir Kapoor essays Lord Rama and Sunny Deol portrays Hanuman. Yash also clarified that the date clash between his K.G.F: Chapter 2 and Shah Rukh Khan's Zero was not deliberate. He stated he never sought an appointment with SRK despite past reports. Both of Yash's upcoming films, Toxic and Ramayana, are slated for release this year.
