The legendary Shankar Nag, known for his visionary approach to elevating Indian cinema, left a lasting impact. Although we lost this extraordinary talent too soon, we're fortunate to see a new torchbearer emerge in Rocking Star Yash, whose even greater vision continues to push the boundaries of Indian film.

This guy is a visionary with no boundaries. A true meaning of hero. He does his homework with so much passion.

The way he pronounced“Ramayana” and “Ravana” shows he’s not forgotten his roots. Kannada industry must be lucky to have this gem of a person - Die hard appu fan.
