Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana trailer is finally out, and Yash has been earning widespread praise for his commanding screen presence and powerful portrayal of Ravana. Long before the KGF star stepped into the role of the demon king, several actors across films and television brought the iconic character to life, each leaving a lasting impression.
