KGF Star Yash, best known globally for his game-changing performance in the KGF franchise, is currently juggling two massive cinematic ventures — Toxic and Ramayana. But if recent industry buzz is anything to go by, the actor might be gearing up for an exciting genre leap into the world of science fiction.
Yash’s Line-up: Toxic and Ramayana First, Sci-Fi Next?
Currently, Yash is laser-focused on completing two of the most anticipated Indian films of the decade. Toxic, an intense period gangster drama directed by Geetu Mohandas, is set to hit screens on March 19, 2026. The film boasts a stellar cast, including Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Qureshi, and is being shot in both Kannada and English — a move that hints at Yash’s growing pan-global appeal.
Meanwhile, the epic two-part Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, will see Yash take on the role of Ravana, opposite Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi’s Sita. With an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Lara Dutta, and Arun Govil, the project is being hailed as the most expensive Indian film to date. What’s more, it will feature a historic musical collaboration between A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, adding further international heft. Ramayana Part 1 is slated for a Diwali 2026 release, with Part 2 following on Diwali 2027.
PS Mithran Collaboration: A Sci-Fi Leap?
Now, adding to the excitement, reports from Kollywood suggest that Yash is in early talks with acclaimed Tamil filmmaker PS Mithran for a sci-fi thriller. Known for crafting intelligent, high-concept films like Irumbu Thirai and Hero, Mithran has reportedly written a genre-bending script that could see Yash entering unexplored sci-fi territory.

If true, this move signals a bold new phase in the actor’s career, as he steps beyond mass action dramas into more futuristic, concept-driven narratives.
What About KGF Chapter 3?
Naturally, fans are also eagerly awaiting updates on KGF: Chapter 3. In a recent statement, Hombale Films co-founder Chaluve Gowda confirmed that Yash and director Prashanth Neel are in active talks, and that a formal announcement will be made when the timing is right. According to industry insiders, Yash is expected to team up with Neel for the third chapter after completing both Toxic and Ramayana.

Final Word: A Star Ready to Reinvent
From the gritty underworld of Toxic to the mythological grandeur of Ramayana, and potentially into a tech-driven sci-fi realm, Yash appears to be consciously diversifying his cinematic portfolio. It’s a strategic evolution that not only showcases his versatility but also cements his status as a pan-India — and increasingly pan-global — superstar.
