Southern sensation Yash thanks fans for making KGF a huge success

Kannada superstar Yash is on cloud nine these days! His latest film KGF (2018), which hit the silver screen on 21st December alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s much-hyped Zero (2018), has put up an outstanding show at the box-office all across India.

The action entertainer, which was released in five languages including Hindi, has exceeded all expectations and done the unthinkable for a regional movie. With an income of over ₹ 100 crores worldwide, KGF has emerged as one of the most successful films of Kannada cinema.


Yash, who headlined the project and received rave reviews for his performance, is extremely happy with its global success. He has thanked his fans for making his movie a huge success at the ticket window.

The actor tweeted, "KGF has brought me closer to a lot of people now. Had a wonderful experience while visiting the theatres in Tirupathi for #KGF! I am overwhelmed by all the love and support from the people there. Truly honoured by the response."

After the massive success of the first part, the makers are now gearing up to start work on the second instalment of the movie.
