Ranbir Kapoor praised his Ramayana co-star Yash during the film’s pre-launch event in Hyderabad, recalling how he became a fan of the actor after watching KGF. Ranbir also spoke about Yash’s understanding of different aspects of filmmaking, including writing, storytelling, acting, directing and production.
Recalling his first impression of Yash, Ranbir said, “The first time when I saw Yash, Rocking Star Yash’s film was KGF. I saw KGF; I became a massive fan. Then I met him one day in Goa when Namit and I went there, while he was doing a recce for a film he was doing. And I realised that this man is just not a superstar, an actor; he is a cinema man. He is somebody who understands writing; he understands storytelling; he understands acting; he understands how to produce a film, how to direct a film, how to act in a film.”
