The stars reportedly had a brief discussion with the PM over various issues during the dinner. PM Modi also spent some quality time and talked about movies and many other things with the Kannada stars.

Rumours suggest that Yash has requested PM Modi for a film city in Bengaluru. If PM Modi keeps Yash’s request, Bengaluru will also have a massive film city and it will be a major boost for the Kannada industry.

The year 2022 might not have seen many great movies, but Kannada movies have done exceedingly well. With the super success of Kantara, KGF, 777 Charlie and Vikrant Rona, Kannada movies are increasing their fan base and popularity.
