'Haven't watched RRR, The Kashmir Files yet, only watching KGF', says Yash
India Today
In an exclusive interview with India Today, KGF 2 actor Yash reveals he hasn't had the chance to watch RRR or The Kashmir Files yet.
KGF Chapter 2 is the buzzword now. Yash returns as Rocky Bhai in the second instalment of his hit franchise. KGF Chapter 2, apart from Yash, stars Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon, and the film is expected to be an even bigger hit than the first part. When asked if he's had the chance to watch the latest box-office hits RRR and The Kashmir Files, Yash revealed that he wants to but hasn't had the time with KGF Chapter 2 promotions. "I am only watching KGF now," he added jokingly.
In an exclusive interview with India Today, KGF 2 actor Yash was asked if he had the chance to watch the latest box office hits, SS Rajamouli's RRR and Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files. RRR is shattering box office records every day and has already emerged as the 5th highest-grossing Indian film ever. The Kashmir Files, made on a limited budget, on the other hand, created history by becoming one of the biggest hits ever. But KGF star Yash hasn't had the chance to watch either of these blockbusters. "I haven't watched RRR or The Kashmir Files. I want to watch it but I didn't have time with all the KGF promotions. I've only been watching KGF now (laughs)," Yash told India Today.
Yash also opened up on the Bollywood vs regional cinema debate. He said that he feels its an outdated concept as the cinema audience has evolved. "The Bollywood vs regional cinema argument is outdated. We should move on because the audience has evolved. I don't like it when anyone says 'it's a dubbed film'. That doesn't mean there's less effort. Dubbing is a process, we dub in Kannada also after we're done shooting the film. Today, more effort goes into dubbing so it looks original. We change dialogues according to regional sensibilities. It's, after all, an Indian film available in multiple languages. Covid mein bhi 2-3 saal gaya, why are you still thinking that way?" said Yash.
Yash believes he and his fans speak a different language that only they understand. Talking about how their expectations drive him to do better, he said, "I am here because of my fans. When no one else believed in me, they believed in me. They are not biased. It's not that I've done the greatest work. I would have done an average film also, but they still treated me with love. Their expectations drive me. The moment they saw my work, they started loving me. Cut to today, even when we release a teaser, they accept it with open arms. Until we meet their expectations, I will never give up. We have to keep them happy."
