As the promotions for Nitesh Tiwari's epic Ramayana begin, producer Namit Malhotra and star Yash travelled to Las Vegas to present the film at the CinemaCon.
Yash, who plays Ravana, explained how he has tried to bring nuance to the asura, saying, 'I have tried to internalise... the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times.'
Speaking to Reuters, Yash added, 'Since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well.'
Ramayana will be released in two parts, with a combined budget of up to $500 million, making it one of the most expensive film productions in the world.
The film will blend elements of fantasy and human drama, drawing on movies such as The Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
