Ramayana: Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's on-screen clash in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is one of the film's biggest highlights. However, fans will have to wait a little longer. The actors are yet to shoot the much-awaited climax scene between Lord Ram and Ravana.
Ranbir Kapoor disclosed that the movie's ending has not yet been filmed, while speaking at the San Diego Comic-Con. He said, "Lord Rama and Ravana will be appearing together at the end of the film, with maybe a meeting in the middle. But we haven't shot that. So, we haven't had the opportunity to work together."

The actor added, "But I have known Yash for some time now, and I have been a big fan of his work. I truly believe that we needed somebody with his aura, his stardom, his outlook to play this role."
Ranbir Kapoor also commended Yash's portrayal of Ravana. He also noted that the actor had departed from the traditional image of the character. "He has played it with so much swag, aura, and honesty that he has really made Ravana come alive. Over the years, we have had a very stereotypical depiction of Ravana, but not this one," the actor shared.

The Kannada superstar added, "Technically, yes, it was demanding with the make up and looks. There were so many challenges but eventually, when you are trying to tell a story - and that's why we are all here. We love stories and we give it our all to bring it in the most authentic way. And I think we have been able to do that in quite a good manner is what I believe."
