6 min readNew DelhiJul 8, 2026 04:36 PM IST Cinema and cricket remain India’s two biggest levellers. Youngsters with stars in their eyes can come from small-town India and write their success story with grit and determination. KGF star Yash, Rocky Bhai to his fans, is one such example. Son of a homemaker and Karnataka bus driver, he is among the biggest stars in Indian cinema today. After putting Kannada cinema on the global map with the KGF franchise, the actor is now making headlines for his upcoming films Toxic and Ramayana. He is also co-producing Ramayana, which is reportedly mounted on a staggering budget of Rs 4,000 crore. However, long before fame and blockbuster success, Yash was just a teenager who ran away from home with Rs 300 in his pocket. His father earned just Rs 14 a day, and money was hard to come by. In Bengaluru, the actor had to sleep on the streets, and it was on one such night — with fear of being driven away by the police — …

It has been one of the joys of my life to be directed by Geethu Mohandas, and by a woman. There is a world of difference on set.” Talking about her role in the film, Tara added, …

The period action film, which was initially expected to release earlier this year clashing with Dhurandhar 2, has now been pushed to June 4. As the release date approaches, Yash recently took a moment to speak about his director, Geetu Mohandas. ‘A gangster film with a female gaze’ Since the announcement of the project, there has been significant anticipation around this collaboration. Geetu, known for films like Moothon and Liar’s Dice, comes from a very different cinematic background compared to Yash, who rose to pan-India fame with KGF. Yash reflected on what she brings to the gangster world of Toxic, highlighting her “female gaze.” He told American content creator Sabeen Faheem, “That’s the most exciting part. So what happens is that when you generally say action films, it’s only restricted to male directors. That’s been the history in India. A lot of people have done that. A large-scale action film, that too a gangster …

Following the massive success of KGF: Chapter 2 in 2022, the actor has been working on two ambitious projects—Toxic and Ramayana. While Ramayana is slated for a grand Diwali release this year, Toxic, which was initially scheduled to hit theatres on March 19 alongside Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2, was postponed abruptly, reportedly due to the ongoing conflict in the Gulf. Even earlier, when the teaser of Toxic was unveiled, it sparked intense debate online. Filmmakers like Ram Gopal Varma praised director Geethu Mohandas for her bold vision, while others criticised it, calling it misogynistic. However, Yash believes the film carries a deeper psychological layer that audiences will only fully grasp once it releases. ‘Toxic: A fairytale for Adults has deep psychological themes’ Speaking to Fandango, Yash said, “Toxic is a very ambitious film. For the first time, we have also shot it in English. At face value, it may seem like a typical gangster …

In an interaction with Fandango, Yash opened up about his preparation and the deeper philosophy behind taking on such a complex, dark character. “I think we are all very familiar with this world. We have grown up listening to these stories—they are part of our culture and belief system. So it wasn’t about reinventing everything from scratch,” he said. “What matters most is perspective. Every character has their own point of view, and most of the time, they truly believe in what they are doing. In …
