Yash Says Backing Big-Scale Films Like Toxic And Ramayana Feels Like “Pleasure, Not Pressure”

Rocking Star Yash is approaching the enormous expectations surrounding his upcoming films, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups and Ramayana with calm confidence and a clear sense of purpose. At a time when both projects are being regarded among the most ambitious films currently in development in Indian cinema, the actor says he chooses to view the responsibility as an exciting journey rather than a burden.

In a recent interview with Variety, Yash reflected on navigating the scale, scrutiny, and anticipation attached to the two massive projects. When asked whether the pressure of mounting films of this magnitude weighs heavily on him, the actor explained that perspective plays a crucial role in how he approaches the process.

“It’s a pleasure, it’s not pressure. Anything in life, if you treat it as pressure, it becomes pressure. But if you treat it as pleasure, it’s going to be a great journey,” he shared.

The actor further emphasized that the teams behind both Toxic and Ramayana are fully committed to pushing cinematic storytelling to the highest level possible, using every available resource, technology, and creative tool at their disposal.

“At this point in time, whatever best we can do, we are giving it all. The only vision we have is to give the best of the resources, technology and knowledge we have,” Yash added.

He also spoke about the larger vision driving both films, sharing that Toxic and Ramayana may be two completely different cinematic journeys, but they are ultimately working towards the same goal taking Indian stories to a global audience.

"These are two different paths leading to the same destination. Both of us (Namit) came together with one shared vision to take Indian stories onto the global stage and make our own humble contribution towards that journey.” Yash added.

With Toxic already generating significant global buzz for its ambitious scale and international approach, and Ramayana shaping up to be one of the biggest mythological spectacles ever mounted in Indian cinema, Yash’s comments reflect both ambition and responsibility. Rather than being overwhelmed by the expectations surrounding the films, the actor appears focused on channeling that energy into elevating the scale and quality of storytelling even further.
