Yash plays Raja Krishnappa Bairya called Rocky, a mafia figure who takes over a gold-smuggling business in the film.
Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram, praising the Kannada actor Yash and compared him to megastar Amitabh Bachchan. On Instagram stories, she wrote, ”@thenameisyash is the angry young man India was missing since man decades…He fills that void which Mr Amitabh Bachchan left since seventies… Wonderful (clapping emojis).”
After roles in films such as Don, Deewar, Shakti, and Agneepath in the 1970s and 1980s, Amitabh Bachchan got the moniker “angry young man.” She also appreciated Ram Charan, NTR Jr., and Allu Arjun from the south. Sharing a collage of the stars, she wrote, “South superstars are grounded and deeply rooted in their culture… Apart from their talent and hard work their authenticity is what strikes the chord with the audience…”
