Even as fans of Yash are waiting for the release of much-anticipated film KGF Chapter 2, the Rocking Star has been in the news for his next project. We had last reported that Mufti director Narthan will be helming this film, which marks the 19th venture of Yash. Recently, there were rumours about Yash playing a Navy officer in the film, which went viral on social media. However, a source close to the film's unit has denied such speculations.

Previous to this news, there was also a rumour that Tamannaah Bhatia would play the role of a heroine, which also seems to be false.

“Yash and Narthan are teaming up for a project and the script is getting locked. All other speculations are false,” says our source, adding that Yash’s current focus is KGF Chapter 2, and any update on his next film will officially be announced at the right time.

Meanwhile, Hombale Films, the production house of pan-India KGF Chapter 2 directed by Prashanth Neel, had initially announced that the film would release on July 16. However, this may get pushed due to the lockdown. Though the government has been easing restrictions, there is uncertainty about the reopening of theatres. However, a word from the production house is awaited on their release plans. This is one of the much-anticipated films, and fans from across the world have been waiting to watch Yash in Rocky Bhai’s avatar.
