Yuva Rajkumar’s second film will be directed by Rohit Padaki – this rumour has been floating around in Sandalwood circles for several days, and today, on October 11, the team officially confirmed this buzz. Padaki, better known as the director of films like Dayavittu Gamanisi and Rathnan Prapancha, as well as the upcoming gangster tale Uttarakaanda, is set to make another violent film, it seems, going by the announcement poster that was revealed.

#Yuva02: Yuva Rajkumar’s second film with THIS director? 

The poster features a very bloody hand that’s holding the handle of a machete, indicating that the as-yet-untitled film will have a lot of violence and ample bloodshed too. Yuva’s post about his next film also states that the team will reveal the title and first look on the occasion of Kannada Rajyotsava on November 1. It has been rumoured that the film will be called Ekka Raja Rani, but for now, #Yuva2 is what it will be.

While the response to the announcement was largely positive with fans excited about the collaboration, a section of audiences was not pleased that a member of the Rajkumar family would resort to this level of violence in a film. Netizens are particularly displeased because Yuva has been propped us as the successor to the late Puneeth Rajkumar and their contention is that the Power Star or his late father, Kannada matinee idol Rajkumar never had so much bloodshed in any of their films.

Comments also included, “Rowdyism, crime, blood bari idenaa guru content andre ???? 🤦🏻‍♂️ neevella yavag badlaagthiro gotthilla...”, “Rowdyism irli adre jackie annabond style irli”, “Rakta biṭṭu bēre kathenē sigalvā”, among others.

Yuva movie review: Yuva Rajkumar’s debut film is all mass and no material 

Yuva, the younger son of Raghavendra Rajkumar, made his film debut earlier this year with the self-titled Yuva, produced by Hombale Films and directed by Santhosh Ananddram, who’d given Puneeth two blockbuster films. However, the Yuva-Santhosh combination failed to click, although, the actor’s dance and fight skills were lauded.
