Intelligence sources said Canadian PM Justin Trudeau started the “Khalistan narrative” well in time for the elections next year and separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s profile is ideal to keep the pot boiling
He is one such South Indian actor who has redefined action thrillers, unparalleled by any other, when it comes to pan-Indian films. With a strong fan base of millions, he added another feather to his cap of achievements by bagging a National Award. Yes, we are speaking about Yash. While people go gaga over him like no other, one of his special yet unseen pictures from way down memory lane has left everyone awestruck.
The picture dates back to Yash’s childhood days when he was just a young boy at school. The moment captures him receiving an award from his school teachers during what seemed like a felicitation ceremony. Wearing a white shirt, a red tie, and khaki shorts, the young Yash looked a bit nervous. However, his subtle smile, which has remained unchanged over the years, adds a spark to the precious frame.
Check out the picture here:
For the unversed, it was in 2007 when Yash made his debut in South Indian cinema with the film Jambada Hudugi. Thereafter, he featured in a number of Kannada films until 2013, from where he began to achieve widespread fame with films like Googly, Raja Huli, Gajakesari, Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari, Masterpiece, and more.
In 2018, Yash became a part of his first pan-Indian release with Prashanth Neel’s KGF Chapter 1 and later KGF Chapter 2 (2022). These two projects of his remain, to this date, two of the highest-grossing Kannada films.
Coming to his personal life, the actor was born into an extremely humble family in Bangalore. While his father was a driver for the State Road Transport Corporation in Karnataka, his mother has always been a homemaker.
He met his now-wife, actress Radhika Pandit, in 2007. They started dating after their relationship gradually blossomed over the course of their few films together. After managing to keep their relationship under wraps for the longest time, the duo got engaged by August 2016. By the end of that year, they tied the knot in an extravagant ceremony.
Yash and Radhika are now parents to their daughter, Ayra, and their son, Atharv. The couple often posts pictures of their happy moments together as a family on their respective social media accounts.
On the work front, Yash is currently busy with the shooting of his upcoming and much-anticipated multi-starrer thriller film, Toxic.

After releasing in the US on September 27 following its Toronto International Film Festival premiere on September 8, The Wild Robot is all set to captivate Indian audiences with its October 18 release. Just a day before the highly anticipated animated sci-fi film’s debut in India, Pinkvilla had the opportunity to sit down with the film’s screenwriter Chris Sanders, who also directed the film. He shared the challenges he faced while adapting the story for the screen from Peter Brown’s book of the same name. Here’s what he said.
Beginning by noting that Brown’s book served as a guidebook and provided structure to his script, Sanders acknowledged that, despite the assistance from Brown’s published work, he felt “a great deal of responsibility” about getting “the core” of Chris Stover’s story right for the screen. Stover, for those who may not know, is the film’s cinematographer, and since this is an animated offering, his vision becomes even more significant.
To present a cinematographer’s story “intact” on the screen, Sanders explained, “it means sometimes you have to trim things back. It’s somebody else’s words initially, so you feel a bit funny doing that, but you have to make room for certain things to resonate, breathe, and really develop.” And so that’s what he did as a writer.
In some cases, though, he said he did the opposite of trimming, and instead, added complications to the plot, as he believed it had more potential. Sanders noted he “didn’t want [the story] to feel like you could see where it was going too far down the road. I wanted more development and surprises.” The screenwriter assured fans that he aimed to both streamline and add complexity to the film’s plotline, but always to preserve the core of Stover’s story for the screen.
Elsewhere in the conversation with Pinkvilla, Sanders praised the film’s powerful star cast and discussed his favorite scene. However, we won’t be sharing that just now with our readers, for fear of spoiling the experience for you.
