Kannada actor Yash, who gained pan-India fame with the KGF franchise, is in the spotlight following comments made by his mother, Pushpa. The remarks, directed at actress Deepika Das, have stirred significant controversy in the Kannada film industry and attracted widespread criticism on social media.
Pushpa, who recently made her debut as a producer with the Kannada film Kothalavadi, released on August 1, personally handled promotional activities for the movie. During an interview, she made contentious comments about Deepika Das, stating that the actress “is not a big heroine” and questioning her accomplishments in the industry. The interview clip quickly went viral, prompting backlash from netizens who criticized the display of arrogance, especially since the film did not perform as expected at the box office.
The controversy has sparked discussions within Kannada film circles, as Pushpa’s remarks indirectly place Yash in an uncomfortable position. Industry insiders and fans alike are debating the implications of her statements on both her debut production venture and Yash’s public image.
