Yash Upcoming Movies After Ramayana: Ramayana Part 2, KGF Chapter 3 and More

Yash is at the most interesting point of his career. He spent four years away from theatres after KGF: Chapter 2, came back with Toxic, and then did something no Kannada star had done before — he played Ravana, the villain, in India’s biggest epic.

Ramayana: Part One released on 5 November 2026 and is running in theatres now. So the question every Yash fan is asking is simple: what is next?

Here is the honest answer. Yash has two films that are certain, and one more that is only a rumour. This blog lists all three, with what is confirmed and what is not.

Yash Upcoming Movies List

Ramayana: Part 2 — Diwali 2028

This is the one film on the list that is fully confirmed. Ramayana: Part 2 will release on Diwali 2028.

The date was not announced in a press meet or a trailer. It was revealed in the film itself. After Ramayana: Part One ends, an end card appears on screen that reads “Ramayana Part 2 Diwali 2028 Releasing Worldwide”. Producer Namit Malhotra later confirmed it, saying the team wants one extra year to do justice to the finale.

That extra year is the reason for the change. Ramayana was first announced as a two-part film with Part 2 planned for Diwali 2027. In October 2026, trade reports said the second part would move to 2028. The end card in Part 1 has now made it official.

The good news for fans is that most of the film is already shot. Ranbir Kapoor has said that around 80% of the Part 2 shoot is complete. In August 2026, he had said it was around 50%. So the team has been shooting both parts together, and the remaining work is mostly the war sequences and the visual effects.

Part 2 is where Yash’s role becomes even bigger. Part 1 covers the first half of the epic — Rama’s exile, Sita’s abduction, and the search for her. Part 2 covers the war itself, the fight between Rama and Ravana in Lanka, and the rescue of Sita. That means Ravana is at the centre of the second film in a way he is not in the first.

There is also a small teaser for what is coming. In the middle of the end credits of Part 1, there is a mid-credits scene that shows a giant figure with a mace leaping from a cliff edge. The face is not shown. It is Sunny Deol’s Hanuman. The scene is a clear signal that Hanuman will have a much bigger role in Part 2.

No exact day has been announced for Diwali 2028 yet, only the festival window. And there is no Part 2 trailer yet — the end card is the only official material so far.

KGF: Chapter 3 — The Wait Continues

KGF: Chapter 3 is the film every Yash fan asks about first. It is also the film with the least to report right now.

Here is what is confirmed. The script is ready. Director Prashanth Neel has said that KGF 3 is scripted and that it will definitely happen. Yash has said the same thing in his own words. At CinemaCon 2026 in the United States, he said: “We aren’t planning anything soon because I have Toxic and Ramayana 1 and 2. I and the director Prashanth Neel will keep talking. We need to come up with the right script and then we’ll definitely make it happen.”

That is the honest position. KGF 3 is not shelved, and it is not cancelled. But it is also not starting soon. There is no confirmed shoot date and no confirmed release date. Any date you see on social media for KGF 3 right now is a fan guess, not an official announcement.

There are two reasons for the wait. The first is Yash himself. After Toxic and Ramayana, his calendar is full until Part 2 finishes. The second is Prashanth Neel. The director is busy with NTR’s film Dragon, and after that he is expected to work on Salaar 2, which reports say could start shooting in June 2027. KGF 3 can only start when both of them are free at the same time.

Some reports say early pre-production work on KGF 3 has already begun, but Hombale Films has not announced a shoot date, and that is what matters. When they do, we will update this blog.

What we do know is where the story left off. KGF: Chapter 2 ended with a hint that Rocky is alive, with American CIA involvement in the story, and with Rocky’s crimes spread across 16 countries during four missing years. That is the foundation Neel has already laid for Chapter 3.

And the stakes are high. KGF: Chapter 2 earned about Rs 1,215 crore worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Kannada film of all time and the only Kannada film to cross Rs 1,000 crore. Chapter 3 will be compared with that number from the day it is announced.

The P.S. Mithran Adventure Film — Rumour Only

The third name on Yash’s list is the least certain, and it is important to say that clearly.

Tamil director P.S. Mithran, who made Irumbu Thirai and Sardar, has narrated an adventure story to Yash. Mithran himself has spoken about it. He called it his most ambitious project and his dream project, and described it as an adventure story like Indiana Jones, with a strong emotional core.

But that is where the confirmed facts end. Mithran told Mid-Day in September 2026 that the collaboration did not move forward at the time because of scheduling issues. In October 2026, reports said the talks could start again, and that Yash liked the idea. Neither Yash nor Mithran has officially confirmed that the film is happening.

There is also a history to this story. The same adventure script was earlier discussed with Dhanush, and before that with Ram Charan. Neither of those versions happened. That does not mean the Yash version will not happen, but it does mean this script has been offered around for a while without reaching the shooting stage.

Some fan-made graphics online claim a Rs 600 crore budget and a Rs 100 crore fee for Yash on this film. Those numbers are fan-made. No maker has announced any budget or fee for a film that has not even been confirmed yet.

So treat this one as a rumour, not as Yash’s next film. If it is officially announced, we will update this blog.

What Yash Himself Has Said

Yash does not announce five films at once. That is his pattern, and it has been his pattern for years. He finishes one big film, then chooses the next one carefully. Fans get frustrated by the wait, but that wait is also why his films feel like events when they finally arrive.

His words at CinemaCon 2026 tell the whole story. On KGF 3, he said he and Prashanth Neel will keep talking, and they need to come up with the right script first. On his career, he has said more than once that he would rather wait for the right film than sign the wrong one in a hurry.

He showed the same attitude after Toxic. The film opened huge — Rs 101.10 crore net in India on Day 1 — but closed at about Rs 333 crore worldwide against a reported Rs 500 crore budget, and is counted as a flop. At the Ramayana event in Hyderabad in October 2026, Yash thanked the fans who watched Toxic multiple times despite the mixed reactions, and said filmmaking is a long-term game. He did not blame the audience. He moved on to the next film.

That is the Yash approach. One film at a time, no rush, no panic.

Where Ramayana Part 1 Stands Right Now

To understand why Part 2 matters so much, it helps to see where Part 1 stands.

Ramayana: Part One released on 5 November 2026, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, with Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Yash as Ravana. Yash is also a co-producer of the film through his banner Monster Mind Creations, along with Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios and DNEG.

In its first six days, the film earned Rs 823.50 crore worldwide gross — Rs 440.45 crore India net, Rs 526.50 crore India gross, and Rs 297 crore overseas. The break-even target is Rs 1,650 crore gross, so the film is about halfway there after six days.

For Yash, the film is already a personal win in one way. He played a villain in a Hindi epic, in his first original Hindi film role, and Karnataka backed him fully. Hindi alone contributed Rs 336 crore of the six-day India net, but the Kannada version also did strong business, and Yash’s name was the biggest reason for that in Karnataka.

Which Yash Film Comes First?

The order is clear. Ramayana: Part 2 comes first, in Diwali 2028. KGF: Chapter 3 comes after that, with no date yet. The P.S. Mithran adventure film is only a rumour until an official announcement comes.

That means Yash fans have a long wait ahead. There is no new Yash film in 2027 on the current list. The next two years belong to Ramayana Part 2, and then to KGF 3.

But that is also how Yash has always worked. From Googly in 2013 to KGF: Chapter 2 in 2022, he never did three or four films a year. He picked very few films, waited for the right ones, and made each release feel like an event. Toxic was a reminder that even a big opening does not save a film if the content does not connect. Ramayana Part 2 and KGF Chapter 3 are his chance to answer that.
