Hyderabad: 'Rocking Star' Yash is turning a year older on Friday. The fans of the Kannada actor across Karnataka are coming to Bengaluru to be part of the massive celebration.

Kannada actor Yash, who is known for his role in KGF: Chapter 1 (2018), took to his social media account and made an announcement to his fans regarding his birthday celebrations.

"We are keeping it simple this year. As you all know, it is not advisable to have a big gathering when there is a widespread fear over a novel coronavirus outbreak. Normally, there will be a celebration at home, but this time we are going outside," the actor said.

Yash also gave tips for prevention against the deadly disease. "Maintain personal hygiene. We are now being told that 'namaste' is better than a handshake. Please visit a doctor if you are not feeling well. Avoid going to public places," he stated.

Yash will be next seen in KGF chapter 2, the long-anticipated sequel that will also star Bollywood actors, Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon. The much-awaited trailer of KGF: Chapter 2 was released on Thursday to contain the damage before it was leaked online hours before its official launch.
