KGF has a universal approach: Yash

Yash rangin his birthday today with family and friends, and like every year, he dedicated this day to his fans who come to meet him from every corner of Karnataka. “This is a day where I get to meet my fans in person, and they shower me lots of love and blessings," says the actor.

This year, his fans have gotten a gift with the makers of KGF releasing the making teaser on midnight Sunday. Made with a huge budget under Hombale Films, KGF is directed by Prashanth Neel.

Talking about his career and journey, Yash says that every film has contributed to his growth in its own way, which has helped him reach where he is. “Be it Kirataka, Modala Sala, Rajdhani, Jaanu, Mr and Mrs Ramachari - all of it has taught me something,” he says.

Yash’s last film was Santhu Straight Forward in October 2016, and he agrees that it’s been a long wait for his next. About this gap and to his fans who have been eagerly waiting to watch him on the silverscreen, he says, “My next film, KGF is something big, and we are working towards taking our film to the next level, which is taking time, but this way we can guarantee an excellent product,” Yash tell us.

So does taking a long break like this work for the industry? “I know it is not a good thing, but at the same time, we want to have more stars come up in the industry. Eventually, we want more heroes to rise in the industry, and it is happening and everything will be balanced once each hero does at least two films each. Meanwhile, I will also work towards doing more films. It’s just that KGF has taken more time than expected,” he explains.

Some producers have made announcements about associating with Yash, and among them, he will be working under Jayanna Combines for two films, and then there is a film under Rockline Productions and a project with Manju as well. However, Yash feels it is too early to talk about the other projects until everything falls in place at the right time. As for the buzz around the actor working with Santhosh Ananddram, he says, “Avanu namm huduga, (he is our boy)  I will do a film with him. Santhosh had even told me that he has a storyline for me, which is yet to discussed. A film with him is definitely on, sooner or later.”

The actor, who is focused on KGF right now, says the film is yet to complete 25 days of shoot. “There is also a lot of graphics work going into KGF that needs to be done. Depending on all of that, the makers will announce the date of release,” says Yash, who has really gotten into the character of Rocky (his role in the film). He says he has thoroughly enjoyed getting into character for this film. “KGF will not be about just one industry, it has a universal approach. The film will reach all corners of the country and the world,” he says.
