KGF: Chapter 2 is a sequel to the 2018 film where Yash will reprise his role from the first movie. The antagonist in the movie will be Sanjay Dutt. Speaking about the latter in an interview with a daily portal, Yash said that even when they had planned to make the film only in Kannada, Dutt has been the first choice for Adheera. He revealed how they had also approached the actor for the first movie but the Bollywood actor had some prior commitment.
KGF: Chapter 2 cast also includes Srinidhi Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Ramachandra Raju and others. The movie is helmed by Prashanth Neel and bankrolled by Vijay Kirgandur. The KGF sequel was supposed to release on October 23, 2020, but will be delayed due to the Coronavirus lockdown.
