Mutual Respect and Aligned Visions

Despite the lack of shared screen time in Part One, Yash praised Ranbir Kapoor as a "fabulous actor."

 

"I think it is mutual respect which has played out and chemistry is like when you are out to do something phenomenal and it's as ambitious as 'Ramayana', all of us have a single agenda - to give our best to present this story."

 

He added,

"So, I think our visions are aligned, hence the chemistry between us not even an issue. We're just enjoying."
