Kannada superstar Yash, who has found wide fame with the success of his 'KGF' franchise, is prepping for his Bollywood debut. If media reports are to be believed, the actor has signed Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious project 'Ramayana,' for which he charges over £15 million.
Grapevine suggests Tiwari has signed Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The film will reportedly go on floors around next year in February. According to a source close to Yash, the actor decided to take up the project to find an entry in Bollywood. They said, "He knows that he also has the third part of 'KGF' but has decided to manage the time and shuffle between the industries."
"He is charging between £10 to 15 million for the film, with £10 million being the minimum, and the higher limit depends on the number of days he is supposed to shoot and give to the schedules," adds the source. 'KGF 3' is expected to be released in 2025, with the shoot starting at the end of next year.
"He has made up his mind to manage the time. He will have a different look in Ramanyan as compared to his look in KGF. He has started discussion on how and what the look will be. He has also started working on his physique to get it right," says the source.
