Tensions raised in Kannada film industry a couple of days back when it was reported that actor Yash’s life is under threat. Apparently, a gangster gang which was arrested by police stated that they were given a lump sum of the amount by a man called Bharat to assassinate Yash.

Denying all these as rumors, Yash held a press meet the other day to address his fans and well-wishers. He said, ” I spoke to Additional Commissioner of Pollice, Alok Kumar and Home Minister MB Patil about the issue. They assured me personally that I was not on the hit list.”

” It is worrying to see every time a gangster gets arrested, my name comes out in the hit list. I have been getting so many calls since morning. I would like to tell my all fans and well-wishers the I am doing well and nothing will happen to me,” he added. Yash is now gearing up to shoot for the much-anticipated film, KGF Chapter 2.
