There is no denying that Yash is one of the biggest stars in the country right now. After the mammoth success of the KGF franchise, Rocky Bhai Yash has become a sensational name in India for the masses.

Now Yash has spoken about the Kannada Film industry, the struggles of their films, the burden of being a star in a small-scale industry, and why it is necessary to give a chance and promote new talents and their commendable works.

Yash speaks about the Kannada Film Industry and struggles

During an event that Yash attended along with his team, Yash said as quoted, “From the way they (distributors) were looking at our language and industry to the way they can perceive it now, and considering the power that the people of India have given, I am able to contemplate what we can do at the next level by utilizing this. We should not solely place the burden on the top 2-3 stars to undertake more films”. 

Yash also spoke about new talents getting a chance in the industry and about KGF director Prashanth Neel promoting their films openly, “We should also support new talent. New talent will put in maximum effort, and if they do not receive support, they may seek opportunities outside of this industry. Like in the case of Prashanth Neel’s first film Ugramm, no one bought the satellite rights initially, Prashanth himself produced that film, and I know how much he struggled for that., it was bought much later by a second party.   After that, KGF worked for him because everyone believed in him and his talent, or else he would have moved to other options. It’s our responsibility to encourage more talent.” Yash concluded his statement.
