After 'KGF', Yash's new movie with director Narthan on the cards?

Kannada star Yash will reportedly next be seen in a Narthan directorial, which is touted to be an action thriller. If the latest report by Bollywood Hungama is to be believed, a source close to the venture's development revealed certain details about the Yash-Narthan film to the portal. It was revealed that after being quite impressed by Narthan, the Masterpiece actor asked him to write a script for him.

The source also revealed that although the filmmaker presented a couple of scripts to the Sandalwood superstar, he didn't give them a thumbs up because they lacked the 'IT' factor he was in pursuit of, after KGF. However, Narthan's latest script pitch to the 35-year-old has reportedly received Yash's nod.
