At CinemaCon 2026, Yash, said, “Ramayana has a certain substance that stays with you for a long time. The very reason this story has endured for so long, and gone beyond boundaries almost transcending cultures where people truly own it suggests there’s something deeply universal about it. And I feel that experiencing it on the big screen, with today’s technology, could make it feel even more immersive and unique for audiences, something they can truly take in and enjoy the way it’s meant to be seen.”

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in association with 8-time Oscar-winning DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, the two-part epic will release in IMAX worldwide — Part 1 in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 in Diwali 2027.

Adding to the excitement, #ArunGovil, widely revered as the TV’s original on-screen Lord Rama for his iconic portrayal in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan and now essaying King Dashrath on big screens in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, expressed his faith in Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of the revered character.

Arun Govil shared, “As far as Ranbir is concerned, I mean, he is a good actor. He works very hard. He is a very cultured kid, basically, you know. He has a moral culture, I have seen it many times. So, I am very sure about it that he will try to do his level best.”

Interestingly, Ranbir Kapoor has previously revealed that his preparation for Ramayana began the day he first watched Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, an experience that deeply shaped his understanding of the character and inspired his journey toward portraying Lord Rama.

Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, #SaiPallavi as Sita, Rocking Star #Yash as Formidable Ravana, #SunnyDeol as Hanuman, and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman. Together, they lead a cinematic vision designed to redefine mythological storytelling on the big screen.

A powerful tribute to real-life heroes, 120 Bahadur is inspired by the Battle of Rezang La (1962), a defining moment in Indian military history when 120 soldiers of Charlie Company stood their ground against over 3000 Chinese troops. Against impossible odds, their unmatched courage and sacrifice became a lasting symbol of valour and patriotism.

#Yashs association with the trailer launch adds a thundering layer of excitement across the nation. Known for his magnetic screen presence and patriotic connect, the Superstar’s involvement amplifies anticipation for this epic war drama that unites the spirit of India’s cinematic and emotional strength. Because legends don’t belong to a region, they belong to a nation.

120 Bahadur tells the extraordinary story of 120 Indian soldiers from the 13 Kumaon Regiment, who fought heroically in the legendary Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 war. Farhan Akhtar stars as Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, leading his men through one of the most defining moments in Indian military history. At its heart, the film echoes one unwavering line — “Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge.”

Directed by #RazneeshRazyGhai, and produced by #RiteshSidhwani, Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment), and #AmitChandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), 120 Bahadur releases in cinemas on November 21, 2025.

With no film background or industry support, Yash started his career in theatre, slowly transitioning to television and then into films. He steadily climbed the ladder in Kannada cinema, gave back to back blockbusters and set new benchmarks in the industry with films like Googly, Kirataka and Mr and Mrs Ramachari.

The #KGF franchise marked a significant turning point, not just for Yash’s career but for Kannada cinema on a national scale. Yash played an integral role in pushing the film as a pan-India project, personally forging partnerships to extend its reach beyond Karnataka. Its sequel, KGF: Chapter 2, became one of Indian cinema’s biggest commercial hits, cementing his status as a pan-India star. KGF: Chapter 2 also played a pivotal role in reviving Indian cinema’s box office fortunes post-COVID, drawing massive crowds back to theaters and demonstrating the immense hunger for big-screen experiences.

Following the mammoth success of KGF, Yash took an unpredictable step: he didn’t announce any new projects for over 18 months. This decision was seen as a considerable risk in an industry where major successes are typically followed by back-to-back announcements of big ventures and associations with top directors.

However, he was driven by the goal to make films that will represent Indian cinema on a global level. Yash took the industry by surprise by announcing his next film, Toxic, with director Geetu Mohandas, who has won major international critical acclaim for her films. This association of a box-office powerhouse like Yash with a critically acclaimed director was unexpected, signaling a rare combination of mainstream scale with arthouse sensibilities.

He followed this up by choosing to play the role of #Ravana in #Ramayana. What makes this move particularly noteworthy is his decision to portray Ravana, a complex and layered character rarely taken up by superstars, especially at the peak of stardom. While most actors gravitate toward traditionally heroic roles in such projects, Yash has opted for a more challenging and unconventional path, further solidifying his reputation for defying industry norms.

Yash’s upcoming film, #Toxic, shows his dedication to elevate Indian cinema to a global stage. As the premiere production of Monster Mind Creations, Toxic tells a story with a universal connect, a narrative that transcends borders.

To support this ambitious vision, the creators are meticulously crafting Toxic on an unprecedented scale, ensuring its powerful story resonates worldwide. Yash and KVN Productions have made it India’s first large-scale production to be shot bilingually in English and Kannada, with extensive dubbing planned for all major Indian languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam among others. This strategic, ambitious approach highlights the team’s dedication to capturing exact sensibilities and cultural nuances, aiming for Toxic to resonate deeply with both Indian and international audiences, making it a film from India to the world.

Adding another layer to his involvement, Yash is co-producing both Toxic and Ramayana under his banner, Monster Mind Creations. His role as a producer shows his deep creative involvement in shaping the narrative of these films beyond just his performance, actively participating in how they are made and positioned for a wider reach.

Seventeen years since his debut, Yash has not only won over fans globally but has also redefined what it means to be a pan-India star, purely by setting trends rather than following them.

With Toxic slated for release on the Ugadi-Eid weekend (March 19, 2026) and Ramayana on Diwali 2026, the next year is poised to set new benchmarks in his remarkable journey.

The spark came from a warm birthday message shared by Geetu Mohandas on Instagram, featuring a candid image of Sudev holding a surfboard at the beach. Her caption read,
“Happy Birthday to one of my fav performers ,”
and fans were quick to connect the dots.

Adding to the intrigue, Sudev is the only actor visibly featured in the recently released teaser of Toxic, which has further strengthened assumptions about his key role in the narrative. The shadowy, stylized frames seem to hint at something dark and action-driven—something right up Sudev’s alley.

The actor also took to his Instagram and shared a picture with Yash in which he is seen holding his hands and thanking the crew of Toxic for a memorable moment on set. He wrote, “Thank you @thenameisyash and our Toxic film crew for choreographing the sweetest stunt of the day. In pineapple and chocolate flavours. Unsuccessfully tried my best to break his diet. I, however, am under no such dietary regulations for my Birthday week. @geetu_mohandas @toxic_themovie @kvn.productions #rajeevravi”

The caption, light-hearted as it may seem, drops a major clue—Sudev mentions a stunt choreographed for him on set. Could this mean his character is involved in the film’s adrenaline-fuelled action set pieces? With the tone of Toxic described as a dark fairy tale, it’s safe to assume that Sudev might be playing a layered role that blends intensity, combat, and emotion.

While the makers have remained tight-lipped about character details, the teaser appearance, the director’s post, and his own cheeky caption suggest that Sudev Nair may be essaying a crucial role in the film’s twisted fairytale-inspired world.

Apart from Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, the versatile actor is also gearing up for the release of his next Malayalam film Sleeplessly Yours, directed by Goutham Surya, which is slated to hit theatres on May 20, 2025.

Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is being jointly produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under the banners of KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026.
