Popular Tollywood actor Yash Dasgupta is set to make his Bollywood debut with the film, "Yaariyan 2", opposite Divya Khosla Kumar. 

As soon as Yash made the official announcement on social media, his fans and friends from the film fraternity flooded his comments section with love and well wishes. Veteran filmmaker Ramkamal Mukherjee congratulated Yash and Divya, reminiscing about the beautiful memories associated with the original "Yaariyan" back during his days.

Directed by the dynamic duo Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao, the movie boasts an ensemble cast that includes Pearl V Puri, Meezaan Jafri (son of Jaaved Jafferi), Anaswara Rajan, Warina Hussain, and Priya P Varrier, in prominent roles. The film also marks the Bollywood debut of Pearl V Puri, known for his stellar performances in popular television series such as "Bepanah Pyaarr" and "Naagin".

The first instalment of the franchise, "Yaariyan", was helmed by Divya Khosla Kumar herself and took the industry by storm in 2014. Starring Himansh Kohli and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles, the film became a friendship-centric sensation. Now, the highly anticipated sequel is set to showcase the versatile talent of Yash Dasgupta in the lead.

Yash Dasgupta's acting journey began with popular Hindi television shows like "Bandini", "Basera", and "Na aana is des laado". Although, he debuted in Tollywood with Birsha Dasgupta's "Gangster", it was his remarkable performance in the film, "Bojhena Se Bojhena", opposite Madhumita Sarkar, that catapulted him to fame and made him a household name. 

"Yaariyan 2" is expected to be released in theatres on October 20.
