Superstar Yash instantly became a bigger favorite of the audience with his character Rocky, an angry man with KGF chapter 1. The actor’s characterization was massively based on glorified Hindi movies of that era and mostly, 70’s movies that featured Amitabh Bachchan.
With his look, Yash sports a long beard with long hair in the movie and has started a trend where his fans are copying the same look as well. To bring it all together, the makers always loved the spirit of that era and wanted to create the same character and charm on the big screen with KGF’s Rocky.
They examined widely and took inspiration from a collection of characters of Amitabh namely from the movies, Sholay, Amar Akbar Anthony, Zanjeer, Kaala Patthar, and much more. The roots of thought were how the makers felt that Hindi cinema was not really the same as its earlier charm and this inspiration was best suited for KGF, which was a Pan-India release.
Yash has certainly put in tremendous hard work in the film and has delivered a praiseworthy performance. Yash’s character named Rocky runs and rules the Gold Mafia of Kolar Gold Fields in chapter one. Even in the songs, Yash was seen donning a rustic and raw look as everyone sings praises of the mafia king which was inspired by the 70s in essence.
Soon later, after the success of chapter 1, the makers decided to shoot for a sequel and it will be released in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. The movie also stars Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon in pivotal roles this time.
At present, the filming work on the Yash starrer is currently halted due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Earlier, the film was scheduled to release on October 23, however, due to the lockdown, it may get postponed. The official announcement is yet to be made.
