In 2022, megastar Yash made history with 'K.G.F: Chapter 2' that went on to become the 4th Indian film to break the 1000 crore box office record and became the highest opening day for a film in the history of Indian cinema.


Apart from the high-octane action, gripping narrative and superlative performances, another highlight of the film that went on to inspire millions across the country was Yash’s style and looks in KGF as his iconic character Rocky.


Never before has a film’s character look created that big an impact as everything from the megastar’s beard, hairstyle and right down to his suits were emulated and in demand. Salons across the nation including Suswagatam men’s parlor & spa, Pune, B&B Saloon at Palika Bazaar, Malviya Nagar, Jaipur, 9T9 men’s salon & spa at Dhayari Village, Pune, and Ahmedabad Saloon, Ahmedabad offered the raging hairstyle and beard styles of Yash in their saloons.


The last icon to have created such a rage with his style was veteran Amitabh Bachchan in the 70’s, making Yash amongst the biggest cinematic style icons. The megastar’s look was a rage amongst the youth and in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities that occupy a huge chunk of the mass movie-watching market.

While his on-screen looks may have set countless trends, Yash’s offscreen looks too prove that he is quite the fashion icon whether it’s his contemporary ethnic looks or his suited up one’s. Talking about his style, Yash shared, “A lot of you asked me about my style. My style is a part of my personality, my attitude. My style is a part of me.”

After breaking all kinds of records with KGF 2, the megastar will soon announce his next project and fans are hoping the actor will soon revive his character Rocky in KGF 3.
