Director Shankar approaches 'KGF' actor Yash for mutli-starrer: Reports

Director Shankar has reportedly approached KGF star Yash for a multi-starrer which he wishes to wrap-up before commencing work on Kamal Haasan's Indian 2. According to Pinkvilla's report, the Enthiran director has also approached several other actors from Telugu and Hindi film industries for the multi-starrer. Reportedly, the delay in commencement of Indian 2's shooting has freed up Shankar's schedule, because of which he is planning to work on the forthcoming multi-starrer.
