The English trailer of ‘Ramayana’ has sparked plenty of discussion since its release, with viewers focusing on everything from its grand visuals and ambitious scale to the performances of Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash. However, one element has also managed to stand out despite not appearing on screen: the powerful voice heard during Yash’s portrayal of Ravana.
Mohan Kapur lends his voice to Ravana in ‘Ramayana’
The commanding English voice accompanying Yash’s Ravana belongs to actor Mohan Kapur. Known for his distinctive baritone and extensive work across Indian and international entertainment, Kapur adds weight and intensity to Ravana’s portions in the English-dubbed trailer.His voice has particularly caught the attention of viewers who were initially curious about whether Yash himself had delivered the English dialogue. The depth and authority in Kapur’s performance complement Yash’s imposing appearance, strengthening the larger-than-life introduction of the mythological antagonist.The English version has also attracted attention from audiences outside India, and Kapur’s contribution has become an important part of the trailer’s overall impact.
Mohan Kapur is already familiar to international audiences
For viewers who follow global productions, Kapur’s voice and face may already be familiar. He played Yusuf Khan, the father of Kamala Khan, in Marvel projects ‘Ms. Marvel’ and ‘The Marvels’.His international credits also include ‘Homeland’, ‘The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ and ‘Zero Dark Thirty’. Alongside his overseas work, Kapur has remained active in Hindi television and films.His ability to bring authority to a character through both his performance and voice makes him a fitting choice for Ravana’s English dialogue. The trailer’s release has prompted several viewers to recognise his contribution, with some admitting they initially assumed the voice belonged to Yash.
