With Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious film Ramayana, Yash has already secured his place in Bollywood. According to a recent Hindustan Times story, the Kannada sensation is currently in negotiations for his second Hindi production and has even mentioned his wish to collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan.
With the success of the KGF franchise, the actor has gained widespread recognition. In Tiwari’s cinematic adaptation of the legend, he plays Ravana and makes his debut in the Hindi film business. He’s in talks about doing an action project for his next tour.
“Yash understands that he has found a huge fan base among the Hindi audiences due to the success of the KGF franchise. And that is one of the reasons he is excited to enter Bollywood and widen the same,” added a source to HT.
The report added, “While he is caught up with the shoot of the next part of KGF and Ramayana, he is in no mood to take it slow. He is already in talks for his second film — which is an action project. He is having conversations with Red Chillies Entertainment for the project. At the moment, they have discussed the creative ideas with the actor, who has liked it and wants to see how it turns out to be”.
Indeed, rumors also suggest that he has expressed a wish to collaborate with actor Shah Rukh Khan. “There have been conversations around him working with Shah Rukh Khan — and it is an idea which got both of the actors super excited. However, they need the right project to collaborate together as it will come with a lot of expectations, and they don’t want to disappoint their fans. That’s why they want it to be a well-thought move, instead of an impulsive one”.
A source close to Yash, however, denied the allegations, stating that he is “currently focussing on projects he has in his hands.”
As previously reported, it is thought that Yash is demanding more than ₹150 crore for Tiwari’s Ramayana, in which Sai Pallavi plays Sita and Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama.“He is charging between ₹100 crore to ₹150 crore for the film, with ₹100 crore being the minimum, and the higher limit depends on the number of days he is supposed to shoot and give to the schedules”.
