Yash may be playing Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘
Ramayana,’ but his seven-year-old son Yatharv was not prepared to see his father kill someone (Jatayu) on screen. During the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles, the young boy became emotional while watching the scene in which Ravana attacks Jatayu, the vulture who tries to stop him from abducting Sita. He later told his father that he did not like what he had done, even though it was only a film.
Yash and his co-star Sai Pallavi, who plays Sita, recalled the incident during a recent media interaction. Yash had attended the premiere at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on October 27 with his children, Ayra and Yatharv. It was the first time either child had watched a film in a theatre. Speaking about their reaction, Yash said, “I could see they had so many questions because for them, life is just starting. They are understanding how to behave, how to respect one another. I was so surprised to see my son’s reaction.”
