Parashar commented on the post, “Mere bhai mere bhai mere bhai! ✊❤️ What a privilege to play this character, to share screen space with you and playing off your brilliant talent and energy! Some of the best days of my work life. Big big jhappi mere Udham! Tu revolutionary hai re!”

The film also stars Banita Sandhu and now, we wait for her first look from the movie to be unveiled.

Sardar Udham will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 16th October 2021.

While talking about the film, at the trailer launch, Kaushal had stated, "A person who had taken a note to avenge that bloodshed, not in India but by crossing borders 100 years ago, went to the heart of the British empire... For me, it is a story of resilience, bravery, patience, and a passionate person. Through this film, I wanted to explore that factor in me also. It's not the most easy role to touch. It's also a character that isn't widely documented in our history books.”

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
