Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part 1 hit theatres on November 5 ahead of Diwali. The film, which also had international premieres, garnered positive reviews and performed well at the box office. Yash, who co-produced the film and essayed the role of Ravana, expressed gratitude to fans for all the love and support. He also posted a playful picture with his kids while dressed up as the character.

Yash has been away from social media since his Kannada film, Toxic, hit theatres in August to underwhelming reviews. He has since shared only promotional content related to Ramayana. In his first heartwarming post, Yash shared family pictures in a collaborative post with his wife, Radhika Pandit.
