If this Peeping Moon report is to believed, Yash is said to be based on the the life and times of the dreaded dacoit, Dadua.
Arshad will be seen as Dadua, while Pratik plays the role of a Special Task Force SSP who was involved in killing Dadua and his entire gang in 2007 with his team.
“Dhulia has been working on Dadua Daku’s story for the past five years. He was earlier supposed to make it with Irrfan Khan, but that remained an unfulfilled wish after his death in 2020. The director is now reviving the project with Arshad Warsi playing Dadua, while Pratik Gandhi will step into the shoes of a Special Task Force SSP who was instrumental in killing Dadua and his entire gang in 2007 with his team. The film is an action-packed story revolving around the SSP’s long operation to eliminate Dadua.”

“Tigmanshu Dhulia’s film is expected to unravel the unholy dacoit-politician nexus in the UP. It focuses on Dadua’s rise to infamy, his conflict with the law, his influential political power and how he was gunned down in July 2007 in the jungles of Chitrakoot. The film will also highlight the career of UP’s most-talked-about encounter specialist and his strategy behind the killings of Dadua and his 10 gang members.”
