Aarya Babbar Comments on Yash's Ravana Look in Ramayana, Defends Saif Ali Khan's Adipurush RolePreviousNext

Actor Aarya Babbar, currently portraying Ravana in the theatrical production Mahabali, commented on Yash's first look as Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, noting its similarity to Yash's appearance in the KGF franchise, particularly the beard and overall look. Babbar expressed hope that Yash's performance would offer a fresh interpretation despite the familiar visuals. He also defended Saif Ali Khan's portrayal of Ravana in Om Raut's Adipurush, attributing the character's presentation to the director's vision and praising Saif's intensity in the role.
