The South Indian film industry has undoubtedly taken over the country like a storm. Some of the franchises have given the country their greatest ever cinematic pieces and the Kannada action-drama, K.G.F is one of them. KGF: Chapter 1 was released in 2018 and it made ‘Rocky Bhai’ a household name in the country.
Rocky in KGF was played by Yash, who is now one of the highest paid celebrities in the country. While many of you would believe ‘Yash’ is the real name of the artist, you are wrong! He uses Yash as his stage name! The real name of the KGF-lead is Naveen Kumar Gowda.
Not many people are aware of the fact that Naveen uses Yash as his stage name. It is hardly ever that we hear any media outlet referring to him as Naveen, which makes the audience unknown about the real name of their favorite actor.
