It is no secret that KGF star Yash will soon be seen playing the role of Ravan in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. While everyone is eagerly waiting for the film, there are reports that Yash is likely to play the role of Lord Hanuman in Jai Hanuman. The film is the sequel to “Hanuman” starring Teja Sajja and will be released in January 2024. According to Bollywood Hungama reports, Yash is the producers’ first choice to play the role of Lord Hanuman. An insider told an entertainment portal that while Yash was never considered for the first part of the film, he is likely to be finalized for the sequel. However, sources from Yash’s team have now confirmed that these reports were baseless and false.

Talking about the rumors of Yash essaying the role of Hanuman, a source from his team said: “There is no truth to these reports and he is not considering any such role. Rock star Yash has been in every film he chooses to do. Zhongdu put a lot of time and thought into it, and now he’s fully immersed in Toxic: A Fairytale for Adults.”

Yash is not considering playing Hanuman in the upcoming sequel “Jai Hanuman” to focus on his current project “Toxic”. The film will be released on April 10, 2025.

Meanwhile, Yash will also be seen playing the role of Ravan in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. Ranbir Kapoor will play Ram in the film, while Sai Pallavi will play Sita. Earlier, Alia Bhatt was in talks for the role of Sita but she backed out due to date-related issues. According to reports, Sunny Deol has been confirmed to play the role of Hanuman.
