When Jay, Nitesh Tiwari’s associate, rang Harish, the offer came without an audition—an unexpected nod that pulled him straight into the epic’s folds.
Yash had been chasing Harish since 2015, eyeing a Kannada project that never materialised. When the actor finally turned down the role, Yash kept the door open, and years later, his recommendation in Hindi cinema felt like a long‑lost handshake.
On set, Yash morphed from casual farmer to Ravana in a heartbeat. Harish recalls, ‘The beard alone could have been a prop—yet it was the weight of a myth.’
Vibhishana’s choice is a tighter knot than a simple good‑vs‑evil script. Harish notes that the brother’s moral calculus feels almost contemporary, a tug‑of‑war between loyalty and righteousness that mirrors today’s own dilemmas.
Part 2 looms, and Harish is already plotting how Vibhishana’s journey will open doors he never imagined. If Ramayana sizzles, the actor could finally ditch the cop role and step into the spotlight.
