Currently dubbed Yash 19, announcement regarding Yash’s next project is expected to be made soon. Over the last few days, social media has been buzzing with reports about Yash joining hands with Geethu Mohandas, best known for helming Moothon and Liar’s Dice.

On her Instagram story, actor Rima Kallingal, who is a close friend of Geethu, shared a report about the collaboration with Yash and cheered for her. Sharing a report that confirms the collaboration, Rima wrote: “Ma babeeeeee here people (sic).”

In a recent interview with Film Companion, Geethu confirmed that her next film will be a gangster drama. “It’s a gangster film. It’s a gangster genre with a female gaze. How about that? (sic),” Geethu said.

Yash was last seen on screen in last year’s KGF: Chapters 2, which was a success at the box-office. It grossed over ₹1000 crore at the global box-office. It released in over 10,000 screens worldwide and was the biggest release ever for a Kannada film which was dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

The second part in the franchise was released amid very high expectations. Speaking at the trailer launch event of KGF: Chapter 2, Yash had said that Prashanth Neel deserves all the credit for the success of the first part. “I am very attached to my industry. I should receive the least credit for my film. Honestly, I am happy we have done something with chapter 1. KGF happened because of Prasanth Neel. Lot of people give me credit but It is Prasanth Neel’s film. He deserves all the credit. He can even make first timers act as thorough professionals. And he loves his heroes and actors,” Yash said.
