While most movie fans in North India would associate Kannada films with the successful KGF franchise, the latest release Kantara is staking its claim with its phenomenal box office run worldwide. Directed by Rishab Shetty, the Kannada feature film Kantara is ruling in the Hindi regions as well with the dubbed version collecting over Rs 67 crore in a span of 26 days. In a recent interview, Yash, being his humble self, proudly said that Kantara is 'his film' even though he is not associated with the cast and crew in any way. His response to owning Kantara like it is his own project has gone viral among the fans.
Yash claims Kantara is his film
Kannada star Yash recently interacted with the media at an event in New Delhi. One of the questions posed to him was, "As we speak, Kantara, your new film… not your film but a Kannada film is making waves. High praise, and again a low-budget film that’s making a lot of money. What is it in Bengaluru’s air? It seems like ‘Namma Karnataka’ is the buzzword at the moment."
To this, Yash responded by saying, "Kantara is also my film. You said it’s not my film, but it is my film also." Yash’s response has won the internet and fans showering immense love on him.
