KGF: Chapter 2 is perhaps one film that pretty much everyone has seen. The monster box office hit, which collected a massive Rs 1250+ crore globally, since its theatrical release on April 14, dropped on OTT (Amazon Prime Video) two months later. The film, which released in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam, got nearly one-third of its revenue from the Hindi belt.

While the original Kannada version got its TV premiere on August 20, the Hindi version will be out later this week. Sony Max will give the Hindi version of the Yash starrer its world TV premiere on September 18 at 8 pm.

Written and directed by Prashant Neel, KGF: Chapter 2 is the sequel to 2018’s KGF: Chapter 1 and follows Rocky Bhai’s growth from Narachi to having a hold over the entire country, making him the most wanted criminal in India. The film had a massive ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Srinidhi Shetty, Prakash Raj, Vasishta N Simha, Ayyappa P Sharma, Tarak Ponnappa, John Kokken, Malavika Avinash, TS Nagabharana, Archana Jois, among others.

Produced by Hombale Films, KGF: Chapter 2 had music by Ravi Basrur and cinematography by Bhuvan Gowda. Although Prashant had said during pre-release promotions that KGF was initially meant to be one Kannada film, which eventually became two and pan-India releases, and that KGF: Chapter 2 would wind up the story of Rocky Bhai, in a mid-credit scene, the makers teased the possibility of a third instalment in the saga. KGF: Chapter 3 will, apparently, establish hwo Rocky Bhai went from being India’s most wanted to the world’s most wanted criminal.

The makers had initially announced that shooting for Chapter 3 could begin by the end of the year, but then said that it could take more time, given that director Prashant is still busy with his commitment to Hombale Films’ next, Salaar, with Prabhas. The filmmaker also has a film with NTR Jr lined up and could return for KGF3 only after that.
