Superstar Yash is the man of the moment as his latest release KGF Chapter 2, the sequel to the highest-grossing Kannada movie of all time KGF Chapter 1, has opened to a staggering response at the box office across the world. It is poised to break the records of the recent blockbuster SS Rajamouli-Jr NTR-Ram Charan's RRR.

Amid the euphoria over his national stardom, an old video is going viral on the internet in which Yash can be seen driving an auto. This was a part of the promotions for the 2009 Kannada flick Kallara Santhe which starred Yash and Hariprriya in the lead roles. His character Somu played an auto-rickshaw driver in the film as well

As part of a contest on a popular radio station, Yash was supposed to pick the winning girl for an auto-ride around the city of Bengaluru. However, Yash decided not to disappoint the other two ladies and made all the three girls sit behind him for an auto ride in Karnataka's capital.

A Twitter user shared the video on the micro-blogging website and wrote, "Then- Drived auto for his next movie promotion. Now :- Entire India waiting for his next movie like a hell..!". The clip has since then gone viral on the internet with netizens praising the humility of the KGF series actor.

Meanwhile, Yash, in a recent interview, had talked about his career and how he became an actor.
