Yakub Memon to hang for Mumbai serial blasts – 30 Minutes

What’s grabbing even more attention now is not just his acting lineup, but his growing involvement behind the scenes. Yash is set to appear in two major films—Toxic, directed by Geethu Mohandas, and Ramayana, helmed by Nitesh Tiwari. In Ramayana, he will be seen portraying the powerful antagonist, Ravana.

Interestingly, Yash has also been credited as a co-producer for both Toxic and Ramayana. This move has sparked discussions in the industry, with many speculating that the actor might be opting for profit-sharing deals instead of a fixed remuneration.

After the phenomenal success of the KGF franchise, which reportedly generated over ₹2500 crore through theatrical and OTT revenues, Yash’s market value has soared significantly. Compared to other stars associated with Ramayana, including Ranbir Kapoor and Sunny Deol, Yash is widely seen as one of the biggest crowd-pullers today.

Given this stature, his decision to take on a co-producer role appears strategic. By securing a share in the film’s profits and rights, Yash seems to be positioning himself not just as a leading star, but also as a key stakeholder in big-ticket projects.
