Leading actor and KGF star Yash of the South Indian industry has a global reputation, but few people know that Yash used to sell tea before coming into the world and his daily income was only Rs 50.
Both KGF films have done a total of more than Rs 1500 crore, which has led to the highest earning Canada cinema films. This success brought Yash to the leading actors of India.
But Yash’s journey was not easy. As the son of a bus driver, his life was full of hard work and struggle. At the age of 16, he convinced his parents to leave home to fulfill their dreams. He joined the Canada film industry as assistant director, but two days after arriving in Bangalore, the project ended.
Yash said in an interview, ‘I fled home. Arriving at Bangalore, the vastness and environment of the city scared me, but I have always been a man who believes in myself. I had only 300 rupees and knew that parents would not allow them to come back. ‘
Upon arriving in Bangalore, Yash started his life by joining the Bank drama Troop, where he spent more time working behind the stage. At the same time, he earned Rs 50 daily from selling tea and other small tasks. With his abilities in the theater, he also entered college and completed his education.
Yash got the first chance of acting in the TV serial ‘Nanda Gokla’, where he met his future spouse Radhika Pandit. In 2007, Yash stepped into the film world and played the lead role for the first time in the 2008 film ‘Rocky’.
Yash got the biggest success from the romance comedy film ‘Moda Sala’, followed by ‘Kartka’, ‘Mogina Manasu’, ‘Drama’, ‘Gogley’, ‘Mr. & Mrs. Ramachari’, and ‘Master Peace’. The films made him a successful actor.
In 2018, Yash played the lead role in ‘KGF: Chapter 1’, which made more than Rs 250 crore business at the box office and became the highest grossing film in Canada cinema.
In 2022, ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ made a business of Rs 1250 crore, breaking the record, joined the highest grossing films of Indian cinema and became the only Canada film to earn over 1000 crores.
The success of the KGF has identified Yash internationally. Now he was signed for a major role in a major budget film of Nitish Tiwari, including Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pulvi. The film is being considered one of the most expensive production of India.
Yash is also a co -producer of the film, and according to reports, he has received Rs 200 crore for it.
