MUMBAI: Everyone is waiting to know the details about director Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana'. While the makers have not officially announced the cast, there's a buzz that 'KGF' star Yash will come on board for the film. However, recent reports stated that Yash has rejected the role.

Now, as per a source quoted in a statement provided by the film's team, the reports are "baseless."
