Rocking
Star
Yash
broke
all
PAN
India
records
with
KGF
and
put
Kannada
industry
on
the
National
map.
After
the
massive
success
of
KGF
2,
the
superstar
recently
announced
his
next
film,
Toxic
-
A
Fairy
Tale
for
Grown-ups,
which
he
is
not
just
headlining
as
an
actor
but
also
co-producing.
Yash
recently
attended
an
event
where
he
was
asked
about
the
Kannada
industry.
In
his
response,
the
actor
shared
a
very
important
perspective
on
giving
a
platform
to
budding
talent.
"We
should
also
support
new
talent.
New
talent
will
put
in
maximum
effort,
and
if
they
do
not
receive
support,
they
may
deviate
or
even
quit."
He
recalled
KGF
director
Prashanth's
Neel's
challenges
during
his
first
film.
"When
Prashanth
Neel
made
his
first
film
Ugramm,
no
one
bought
the
satellite
rights.
Prashanth
himself
produced
that
film,
and
I
know
how
much
he
struggled
for
that.
It
was
bought
much
later
that
too
via
a
third
party.
After
that,
KGF
happened
because
we
believed
in
his
talent
and
not
his
previous
movie's
box
office
collection.
It's
important
to
identify
the
potential
in
people,
encourage
and
nurture
their
talent,
even
if
the
film
doesn't
do
well."
Interestingly,
when
it
comes
to
giving
opportunities
to
fresh
talent,
Yash
indeed
walks
the
talk.
Rocking
Star
has
been
known
for
giving
opportunities
to
new
people,
be
it
casting
them
in
his
films,
bringing
them
onboard
as
technicians,
or
the
directors
he
collaborates
with.
In
fact,
he
is
known
for
working
with
fresh
directors
and
has
delivered
iconic
films
with
them.
Over
the
years.
He
has
collaborated
with
as
many
as
ten
directors
who
were
making
their
directorial
debuts
or
were
only
one
or
two
films
old.
His
collaborations
with
new
directors
like
Pawan
Wadeyar,
S
Krishna,
Guru
Deshpande,
Dr
Suri,
Pradeep
Raj,
Manju
Mandavaya,
Santhosh
Ananddram
resulted
in
superhits
and
blockbusters
like
Googly,
Gajakesari,
Raja
Huli,
Lucky,
Kirathaka,
Masterpiece
and
Mr
and
Mrs
Ramachari,
which
was
the
highest
grossing
Kannada
film
until
KGF.
With
the
superstardom
and
blockbuster
successes
he
had
in
the
Kannada
film
industry,
everyone
had
the
confidence
to
invest
in
a
PAN
India
project
like
KGF,
which
set
the
bar
higher
not
just
for
Kannada,
but
Indian
cinema.
His
next
film,
Toxic,
slated
to
release
on
10th
April,
2025,will
be
directed
by
Geetu
Mohandas,
whose
previous
directorial
was
India's
nomination
for
Oscars
in
2014.
While
Geetu
has
won
many
accolades,
Toxic
with
Yash
marks
her
first
big
budget,
multilingual,
massy
entertainer.
The
association
has
caused
a
lot
of
intrigue
amongst
audiences,
who
are
anticipating
this
to
be
an
association
that
could
take
Indian
cinema
to
the
next
level
globally.
