It's Yash, not Vijay Devarakonda for Puri Jagannadh's Jana Gana Mana

Contrary to rumours, Vijay Deverakonda has not replaced Yash in director Puri Jagannadh's Jana Gana Mana.

Yash, who is currently working on Prashanth Neel’s KGF: Chapter 2, has remained tight-lipped about his next move. Reports, meanwhile, have been saying the actor will soon team up with Puri Jagannadh for a film titled Jana Gana Mana. The duo had apparently even conducted several rounds of discussions in Bengaluru.

However, the director’s recent collaboration with Vijay Deverakonda for a film titled Fighter led to speculations that Yash had walked out of the film, and the Dear Comrade actor would play the lead in Jana Gana Mana too. But, according to a reliable source, Yash is still in the race for Jana Gana Mana and the iSmart Shankar director’s film with Vijay Deverakonda is a different script altogether. 

Jana Gana Mana will reportedly be shot on a massive scale, and it will yet again be a pan-India action film for Yash after the KGF franchise. The film will be shot in Telugu and Kannada, and will be simultaneously dubbed and released in other Indian languages, including Hindi and Tamil.
