Gajakesari is a 2014 Indian Kannada epic action film directed by cinematographer Krishna and produced by Jayanna and Bogendra. The film stars Yash in leading role along with Amulya and Anant Nag. The film also prominently features an elephant named Arjuna from Waynad, Kerala. Actor Prakash Raj plays as narrator for the film to introduce Yash's character.
The film begins in the forest area of Aanegudde, an elephant reserve. A state minister arrives at the place of a local don, Rana. Rana forces the minister to sign a deal to open a resort at Anegudde. The minister signs reluctantly after seeing his bodyguard being murdered by Rana.
The scene next shifts to Prakash Raj introducing an ancient temple in the royal city of mysore called "Shankara Narayana" temple which is being managed by a holy Mutt, headed by the pontiff (Anantnag). The Mutt has a very good reputation by not being involved into any politics and also being equally revered by both Shaivites and Vaishnavites. Then comes into picture, the hero Krishna (Yash), with his mother Girija Lokesh. Krishna is a happy-go-lucky youth, a hard-core Rajkumar fan, who has a kind heart for people and is involved in a small-time loan financing company. It is revealed that Krishna’s family is very much devoted to the Mutt and also that he was born after Krishna’s father pledged that Krishna will be sent to become the next Pontiff of the Mutt after Anantnag. In this context, Krishna is given a warm welcome at the Mutt and is requested by the Mutt head Anantnag to take up the spiritual leadership. Krishna refuses as he feels he is still attached to the worldly ambitions and he requests the pontiff to suggest an alternative. The Pontiff says that Krishna has to donate an elephant to the Mutt, if he cannot take up the leadership of the Mutt.
