Sandalwood
actor
Yash
debuted
through
Shashank
directed
movie
Moggina
Mansau,
which
got
him
rave
reviews
for
his
performance.
Although
his
next
movies
Rocky
and
Gokula
were
not
big
hits,
they
got
him
essential
credit
as
a
hero
and
got
him
many
offers.
His
fourth
movie
Kallara
Santhe,
which
is
doing
well,
has
got
him
a
complete
hero
image
in
the
hearts
of
the
audience.
Now
actor
is
busy
with
the
shooting
of
his
upcoming
movie
Modala
Sala.
Recently,
the
budding
Kannada
star
spoke
to
oneindia.in.
Here
are
the
excerpts
of
Yash
interview
with
us.
How
were
your
college
days?
Since
my
school
days,
I
was
much
more
interested
in
co-curricular
activities
than
curricular
subjects.
I
was
very
much
passionate
about
dance
programs.
I"ve
participated
in
several
dance
competition
and
have
won
state
level
awards
too.
During
my
college
days,
I
came
in
contact
with
Benaka
drama
team
and
acted
in
plays
like
Jokumaaswamy,
Kattale
Belaku,
Sabarana
Kathe
and
many
others.
What
made
you
enter
the
Kannada
film
industry?
Do
you
have
any
godfather?
Firstly,
I
don"t
have
any
godfather
or
any
of
my
family
members
related
to
film
industry.
I"m
the
first
person
to
enter
films
in
my
family.
My
interest
and
passion
drove
me
to
acting.
Have
you
done
any
course
in
acting/dancing?
No.
I
haven"t
done
any
formal
course
in
acting
or
dancing.
But
I
have
learned
a
lot
from
my
theatre
experience.
Theatre
is
my
guru
and
my
theatre
experience
is
my
course.
Your
first
movie
Moggina
Manasu
has
got
five
filmfare
awards?
Do
you
think
that
it
has
affected
your
acting
career?
Not
really,
because
the
movie
got
awards
very
recently.
Before
that,
I"ve
got
good
audience
response
for
my
acting.
That"s
the
biggest
award
for
me.
I"ve
starred
in
serials
like
Uday
TV"s
'Uttarayana'
and
ETV"s
'Nanda
Gokula',
'Malebille'
and
'Preethi
Illada
Mele'.
Recently,
I"ve
also
appeared
in
Dooradarshan"s
'Shiva'.
These
serials
have
got
me
lot
of
recognition
and
offers.
What
was
your
experience
on
the
sets
of
Kallara
Santhe?
I
had
really
a
wonderful
experience
on
the
sets.
I
had
a
very
challenging
role.
Firstly
I
sat
with
Agni
Shridhar
sir
for
a
month.
He
was
quite
cooperative.
We
used
to
discuss
the
depth
of
my
role.
He
taught
me
every
silly
details
and
demands
of
my
role.
Then
it
was
easy
job
for
me.
What
is
your
feeling
about
young
Sumana
Kittur
directing
well-known
journalist
Agni
Shridhar"s
script?
For
her
also,
it
was
a
biggest
challenge.
Since
it
was
her
second
movie
as
director,
she
had
to
struggle
a
lot.
But
she
did
lot
of
home
work
on
the
script.
Finally,
she
was
successful
in
getting
justice
to
Shridhar
sir"s
script.
Your
onscreen
chemistry
with
Haripriya
has
got
good
response
from
the
film
critics.
What
would
you
say?
How
did
you
manage
to
get
such
cooperation
from
the
actress?
That
was
because
of
our
rehearsal.
Before
going
to
take
a
shot,
me,
director
Sumana
and
actress
Haripriya
used
to
sit
together
and
discuss
hell
lot
of
things.
Then
we
used
to
appear
for
the
real
shot.
Haripriya
was
very
cooperative
on
the
sets.
Of
course,
many
scenes,
where
our
chemistry
was
not
gelling
well,
have
been
left
out
in
the
final
copy.
How
is
the
audience"s
response
for
your
latest
release
Kallara
Santhe?
I"ve
got
good
response
from
the
audience.
They
are
very
proud
of
my
attempt
and
concept
of
the
movie.
How
do
you
manage
the
crowd
of
fans?
I
really
enjoy
it
very
much.
I"m
a
hard
worker
and
I
work
18
hours
a
day.
I
would
like
to
mingle
with
audience
to
know
their
tastes
and
their
pulse
so
that
I
can
work
to
reach
their
expectations
to
get
loved
by
them.
Do
you
think
that
the
movie
will
complete
100
days?
I
really
don"t
like
this
idea
of
100
days,
because
I
feel
this
very
concept
is
out
dated
and
out
of
fashion.
These
days,
film
goers
will
get
lot
of
information
about
a
movie
from
TV,
websites,
news
paper
and
cine
magazines.
There
won"t
be
any
curiosity
about
the
movie
left
in
them.
I
think
no
film
will
attract
audience
for
three
and
a
half
month
(100
days).
So
for
me,
what
is
important
is
the
number
of
audience
watch
a
show,
not
the
number
of
days
the
movie
run
for.
Presently,
you
are
busy
with
the
shooting
of
Modala
Sala.
What
role
are
you
playing
in
the
movie?
How
is
shooting
going
on?
Which
places
the
movie
is
being
shot
in?
The
movie
Modala
Sala
is
a
romantic
love
story.
Hero
of
the
film
is
a
rich
guy
and
I
play
this
role.
It"s
all
about
what
happens
when
the
rich
guy
falls
in
love.
The
film
will
be
a
visual
treat.
The
shooting
is
going
on
briskly.
Tomorrow,
we"re
leaving
for
Kerala
to
shoot
the
movie.
Are
you
acting
with
Shivaraj
Kumar
in
director
Agni
Shridhar"s
debut
movie
Thamassu?
Yes!
It"s
just
a
guest
appearance.
Do
you
have
any
dream
role,
which
you
want
to
play
in
the
future
project?
I"ve
too
many.
But
I
would
like
to
play
the
roles,
which
a
common
can
relate
himself
with.
What
kind
of
movies
would
you
like
to
act
in
future?
I"ve
been
very
choosy
about
my
roles
as
well
as
the
script
of
my
movies.
That"s
why
I"ve
rejected
many
projects.
Every
time,
I
look
for
a
different
script
and
challenging
role.
I
would
like
to
do
movies
based
on
the
taste
of
the
audiences.
What
do
you
think
about
remake
movies?
Would
you
like
to
act
in
remakes?
I
don"t
like
the
very
idea
that
a
particular
movie
is
a
superhit
and
it
should
be
remade
in
Kannada.
So
far
no
remake
movie
has
excited
me.
I
don"t
have
any
qualms
in
acting
in
remakes.
If
I
get
good
script
with
good
role,
I"m
ready.
Have
you
signed
any
new
projects?
Recently,
I"ve
signed
a
movie,
which
will
be
directed
by
debutant
Raghu.
He
himself
has
written
story
and
screenplay
for
it.
Soon
the
movie
will
go
to
sets.
What
message
would
you
like
to
share
with
your
fans?
I
love
you
very
much,
I
love
Kannada
film
industry
and
I
work
to
build
the
industry
stronger.
You
also
love
me,
love
Kannada
films
and
help
to
enrich
the
industry.
Thank
you
all
for
your
support.
