A source has revealed that Yash has rejected the offer for his fans who would not accept him in a negative role. According to a report in Zoom TV, a source close to the makers revealed to ETimes, “Yash was very keen on doing it. Playing Raavan convincingly is more challenging to him than playing Rama. Since Ranbir Kapoor has been roped in to play Rama, Yash was even more keen to come on aboard. But then he was strongly advised against it by his team. They felt his fans would not be happy watching Yash play a negative role, even if it is that of an antagonist as powerful as Ravana.”
