KGF 2 star Yash admits film draws inspiration from Amitabh Bachchan’s characters

Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2 is good to go for release. The Kannada film will hit the screens on April 14 and if advance booking trends are anything to go by, being a blockbuster is logical. KGF deals with rise of an anti-hero in the gritty world of crime and smuggling. The movie has been compared to several Bollywood movies that featured Amitabh Bachchan during the 70s and 80sIn a recent interview, Yash himself talked about those comparisons.

During a recent interaction with Bollywood Hungama, a fan sent an inquiry for Yash, inquiring as to whether he could remake any one movie of Amitabh Bachchan, which one would it be. Yash answered,  “Remake pasand nahi hai personally (I don’t like remake personally) and with Mr Bachchan, it’s better to not touch that. They are classics. Jo unka kaam hai (whatever his work is, I don’t think I would do anything).”

Then, at that point, the interviewer mentioned that to some extent, KGF is inspired by Amitabh Bachchan’s persona, to which Yash answered,  “It’s the essence of the belief system, the hero and his heroism- that kind of film. It has nothing to do with any film but in general, the kind of films they used to make, the essence is the same, what whole of India wants to see. At least, whoever I meet, they say they love those kind of films.”
