However, a recent exclusive report in India Today claims that Yash is 'not considering' to play the once-in-a-lifetime role in the superhero franchise.
As per the report, the circulating reports claiming that Yash will be playing Lord Hanuman in the sequel, are false and baseless.
A reliable source, close to the development was quoted as saying, "There is no truth to the reports, he is not considering any such role. Rocking Star Yash puts a lot of time and consideration into each film he chooses to do, and right now he is completely consumed with 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups'."
Well, this development comes at a time when reports are circulating about Yash playing Demon King Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana.
Fans are certainly anxious about Yash's upcoming projects which include Toxic and KGF Chapter 3. Hopefully, fans will get the official update regarding Yash's involvement in Jai Hanuman and Ramayana soon.
