Rocky Bhai aka Yash opens up on Kantara's success; says 'one KGF can't change industry'

Hyderabad: KGF took Yash to the pinnacle of his career. Rocky Bhai, the character he played, has made him popular worldwide, thanks to Prashanth Neel for making a film that took Kannada cinema to new heights.

The actor was in conversation with Anupama Chopra amidst a packed house of cinema enthusiasts and fans. The actor shared anecdotes from the sets of the KGF, his dreams for the Kannada film industry, and what people can expect from him in the coming year.

When asked about the success of Rishab Shetty's Kantara, Yash said: "I get inspired by fellow actors. KGF was not to intimidate. The vision of KGF was to inspire. One KGF will not change the industry.

For me, it was always about my industry because I always felt we will go out there and fight. I was proud when Kantara worked. Rishab is a very deserving actor. I had seen Sarkari, it's a great film. Today if he releases it will have a bigger reach. I will not run away from telling people that KGF changed the game for the industry - I don't want to be modest about it. My people have raised me and sent me to play this game".

"It's my belief system that changed my life. Buying a house or a car is not a goal - that's basic. Set high goals for yourself. If everyone starts thinking, many things can happen for this country."

Yash is yet to announce his next film.
