Yash has addressed an old remark by veteran producer Allu Aravind about his career and the impact of KGF, saying he agrees that the 2018 blockbuster changed his visibility but believes cinema is ultimately a collective effort. The actor, who is currently promoting Toxic, revisited the comment during an appearance on Aap Ki Adalat. Allu Aravind had previously questioned how well-known Yash was before KGF and attributed much of the film's success to its scale and production.
