Harish Uthaman praises Yash ’s Ravana transformation
Reflecting on his first meeting with Yash on the sets of ‘Ramayana’, Harish Uthaman said the actor’s performance stood out to him. He also spoke about Yash’s friendly nature when he is not performing before the camera.“We have all seen Yash in earlier films, and we know his aura and his screen presence. But this was the first time I met Yash on the sets of ‘Ramayana.’ Every single time I have met him since, he comes across as such a kind human being. But when he performs as Ravan, he becomes a mighty Ravan, is what I would say. The way he performs, his costumes, and the way he speaks — the command he has is unbelievable. It is so good to see him.”
Actor recalls missing an opportunity to work with Yash
Harish Uthaman revealed that he was supposed to work with Yash on a film in 2015-16. However, the project did not move forward, leaving the two actors without an opportunity to collaborate at the time.

Uthaman said he was happy to share the screen with Yash, particularly because their characters are brothers in the epic. “In 2015-16, I was supposed to be in a film with Yash, but it didn’t happen. With me being a part of ‘Ramayana’ and as his brother, I am really happy. So, I missed the opportunity to work with him in 2015-16, but I am glad it happened almost after 10 years. And I am part of ‘Ramayana,’ and I am excited.”

Uthaman described this quality as helpful while working together. “Yash has always been very kind, and in the scenes I have worked with Yash, I think he is an amazing co-actor who is extremely considerate. And he has a discussion, or he always talks to the actors who are with him in a scene. So that is very helpful.”
