Genre: Thriller/Action
The sequel to KGF – the story of the rise of anti-hero in the gritty world of crime and smuggling is perhaps one of the most awaited films of the year.
KGF Chapter 1 released in 2018. The period action film directed by Kannada director Prashanth Neel with Yash in the lead role of an orphan turned don was a massive hit. It was made into a multilingual – a good decision considering the pan India cult status the film enjoyed. The treatment of the story, the visuals, the 70s look and feel, worked for the film, which was going to be a two-part film. KGF Chapter 2 was delayed due to pandemic, and finally it is all set to release in the month of April.
