KGF: Chapter 2’s trailer was revealed on the Rocking Star Yash’s birthday, which was in January of this year. The first KGF-2 teaser was released on January 8, the day of Yash’s birthday, 2021. Fans naturally have great expectations for something similar in 2022. Speaking at a screening for his friend Krishna Ajai Rao’s movie in December of last year, Yash had, however, emphatically ruled out the prospect because the movie wasn’t set to debut for several more months, making a January trailer an impractical idea. Special announcements on The Rocking Star’s birthday are not unheard of, but this year, the chances were not in his favor.
But his birthday is coming up, and that’s another special day. #Yash 19 has become into one of the most talked-about and awaited movies over the last 7-8 months. Both moviegoers and industry insiders are quite interested in learning what Yash will choose to accomplish for his next film after KGF-2. There have been rumors regarding working with Shankar and filmmaker Narthan, as well as the possibility of KGF: Chapter 3 coming soon. In fact, Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films jumped the gun after the success of KGF-2 and not only announced a third installment—which was hinted at in the post-credit scene of the second movie—but also claimed that they might start filming as early as October.
Karthik Gowda, another employee of the production firm, refuted this, nevertheless. He predicted that KGF-3 will occur eventually but not so quickly. In truth, Yash has been announcing that he is considering working on a script that is now in development. The actor stated again that he wants to do something new before coming back to play Rocky Bhai at a recent event in Mumbai. Given that Yash has continued to keep his KGF appearance, including the long hair and beard, it was assumed that he may make a cameo appearance as Rocky Bhai in Prashant Neel’s ongoing movie Salaar for Hombale Films and subsequently resume work on KGF-3.
Currently, more details about his 19thfilm will be made public by the end of the year, like, for instance, whether it is KVN Productions that is backing it, as is being rumored, whether it is Narthan or any other director, among others. The first look and title reveal is what is then expected on January 8, 2023.
Currently working on Salaar, KGF cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda is rumored to be returning to work on Yash’s upcoming film. Ravi Basrur and Anirudh Ravichandar are thought to be the front-runners for the music director position. As fans and business stakeholders wait for information on #Yash19, all eyes are now on Yash. The actor is at a professional high similar to what Prabhas experienced following Baahubali, although Prabhas has since struggled to sustain that success. Therefore, anything Yash decides to do next must be carefully considered.
