Ravana look leaked? Here's the truth

However, it was soon pointed out that it was just a previs (previsualisation) and motion capture (mo-cap) of the character and not Yash the actor in the film.  The two techniques are used in filmmaking to plan and visualise scenes before actual filming or animation. So the character believed to be Yash as Ravana in Ramayana is not the actor himself, but just a very realistic version of him used to envision what it would look like on screen.
