Career

[edit]

Yuva worked as a child artist in Om (1995) alongside his uncle Shiva Rajkumar and brother Vinay Rajkumar.[9] He worked behind the scenes for Siddhartha (2015) and Run Antony (2016) both starring Vinay,[10] and was credited as a producer for the latter film.[11] He made his debut as a lead actor with Yuva (2024).[12] Regarding his performance in the film, a critic from The Times of India wrote that "Yuva is Yuva Rajkumar’s show all the way; he fights, acts, dances, romances, wrestles, fights some more, and even shows an emotional arc. He ticks all the boxes of a commercial hero. The movie is written for him and he delivers a very mature performance in his debut film. His arrival marks the entry of a bankable angry young man to the industry".[13]

Personal life

[edit]

Yuva completed Bachelor of Architecture at the Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bengaluru.[citation needed]
