Yash 19: Every time Geetu Mohandas follows someone on social media, there’s new speculation

The wait for news on #Yash19, Rocking Star Yash’s next after KGF: Chapter 2 began even before the second instalment of Prashant Neel’s film came to theatres. At the time, it was speculated that Yash was set to work with Mufti-maker Narthan, who’d been waiting in the wings for long. Following the stupendous success of KGF-2, production house Hombale Films’ founder Vijay Kiragandur had announced that Yash would return to play Rocky Bhai for the third chapter, with shooting to start as early as October 2022. This seemed a likely scenario, given that Yash did not get rid of his trademark KGF bearded look with longer locks. There were other probable rumours, but the one that really picked up was one involving Malayalam actor-filmmaker Geetu Mohandas .

Gangster tale with female gaze

In conversations with the media in the last year, the Moothon maker had hinted at making a gangster film from the perspective of a woman and this was then rumoured to be Yash’s next film, after Geetu began following him on social media. At a recent public event that Yash attended, he had reassured fans that an announcement would happen shortly, and now, netizens say that Geetu’s new social media friends are proof that work on getting the project on floors is picking up pace.

But what’s even more interesting is that also new on the list of people she’s following are Malayalam actors Tovino Thomas and Samyuktha Menon. The buzz is that Tovino is likely the main antagonist in the tale, while Samyuktha is the heroine. A few netizens even tweeted to Samyuktha congratulating her on bagging the role, in the hope of eliciting an affirmative response.
