Excel
Entertainment's
ambitious
project
KGF
-
Kolar
Gold
Fields
has
hit
the
theatres
today
(December
21).
This
is
Kannada
actor
Yash's
Bollywood
debut.
Yash
is
a
son
of
a
bus
driver,
who
has
made
it
big
in
the
Kannada
film
industry.
The
actor
has
achieved
stardom
because
of
his
sheer
determination
and
hard
work.
His
rags
to
riches
tale
will
indeed
be
inspiring
to
the
youngsters
especially,
the
ones
who
want
to
become
actors.
Interestingly,
KGF
also
bears
similarity
with
Yash's
real-life
story.
The
film
showcases
his
character's
rags
to
riches
journey
from
his
childhood
in
Mumbai
to
Kolar
Gold
Field's
the
bloodiest
goldmine
and
how
his
character
aims
to
conquer
the
world.
Yash
was
quoted
by
IANS
as
saying,
"For
a
pan-India
audience,
I
am
a
newcomer
and
I
know
that.
So
far,
I
have
only
worked
in
the
Kannada
entertainment
industry.
Though
my
films
are
dubbed
in
Hindi
and
watched
by
many
people
on
TV
and
on
online
platforms,
we
never
had
a
Kannada
film
that
was
released
in
theatres
in
Hindi.
So
there
is
a
feeling
in
my
mind
of
being
a
newcomer
to
the
maximum
audience."
KGF
is
a
gangster
drama
which
revolves
around
the
underworld
and
highlights
how
the
ambitious
Rocky
(Yash)
desires
to
become
the
richest
and
most
powerful
man
in
Mumbai.
The
film
is
set
against
the
backdrop
of
the
Kolar
Gold
Fields
in
Karnataka.
The
film
is
made
in
five
languages
-
Kannada,
Tamil,
Telugu,
Hindi
and
Malayalam.
Apart
from
Yash,
the
film
stars
Ramya
Krishna,
Ananth
Nag,
Srinidhi
Shetty,
John
Kokken
and
Achyuth
Rao
in
the
lead
roles.
Mouni
Roy
has
also
featured
in
an
item
song
'Gali
gali'.
The
film
traces
the
tenure
of
late
70s
and
will
be
made
in
two
parts.
