For those hoping for the third part of the 'KGF' franchise from Kannada superstar Yash, here is the bad and the good news.
The bad news is that Yash is not doing 'KFG 3' next. “Yash doesn’t want to be branded as the 'KGF' star like Sean Connery and Daniel Craig who were branded as James Bond. After spending a good five years of his life working on the KGF franchise twice, Yash wants to take a break from KGF,” informs a source very close to the actor.

The good news is, the project that Yash is now working on will feature him in a role as dynamic and crowd-pleasing as 'KGF'. "The character Yash is portraying in his next will be completely different in look and personality from KGF,” adds the source.

'KGF Chapter 1' in 2018 was a Kannada-language film dubbed into Hindi. Its staggering box office collections were: KGF (dubbed Hindi) - Rs. 44 crores ($5.7 million)/ Kannada- Rs. 135 crores ($17.7 million).

'KGF Chapter 2' released in 2022 was even more successful. Rarely had any non-Bollywood film ever shown the box office collections of these two South Indian films.

The young 'KGF' star Yash admits his film turned the tide for regional cinema. “When people say I put Kannada cinema on the world map, I feel good about it. When we made KGF we consciously designed it for a pan-India audience. The spoken language is regional, but the spirit of presentation is international or so we’d like to believe,” feels Yash who has a massive fan following among Indians everywhere."
