KGF star Yash has joined Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' as a producer. Yash's Monster Mind Creations and Namit Malhotra's production house Prime Focus Studios have collaborated to produce the film. Director Yash is excited about the project and said in a statement that his long-term goal is to produce films that showcase Indian cinema on a global scale. “To achieve this goal, I went to LA to partner with one of the best VFX studios, and to my surprise, the driving force behind it was an Indian from India.”

“Namit and I had various brainstorming sessions and coincidentally we agreed. The synergy of our vision for Indian cinema is a perfect match. We are thinking about various projects. However, during the discussion, the topic of Ramayana came up. Namit was developing some of it. The Ramayana deeply moved me as a subject and I had an approach to it in mind. By joining forces to co-produce Ramayana, we are combining our shared vision and experience to create Indian films that ignite excitement and passion in audiences around the world. ”

“After years of traveling back and forth between the US, UK and India, I founded a company that has enjoyed unprecedented commercial success and produced more Oscar winners than any other company in the past decade. As a result of his personal journey, he said, he now feels ready to "appreciate the great story of the Ramayana and treat it with the care and respect it deserves." Ranbir Kapoor will play Lord Ram while Sai Pallavi will reportedly be seen as Sita from Ramayana.
