Yash-starrer 'KGF Chapter 2' to release in theatres on April 14, 2022

The film is a sequel to the 2018 blockbuster 'KGF'

The eagerly-awaited Kannada movie KGF Chapter 2 will hit the screens on April 14 next year, actor Yash confirmed on Sunday. The biggie was to be released in theatres last year but that did not happen due to the Covid-19 situation.

The team subsequently announced that it would arrive in theatres on July 16 but the plan had to be dropped due to an increase in coronavirus cases in India. It remains to be seen whether it is able to keep its date with the audience this time around.

KGF Chapter 2 is a sequel to the 2018 blockbuster KGF and it has been directed by Prashanth Neel. The director's magnum opus revolves around the adventures of the charismatic protagonist 'Rocky Bhai' and caters to the masses. The flick is touted to be 'bigger and better' than the first part, which suggests that it may prove to be a gamechanger for Sandalwood. It features Yash in a new avatar, which has garnered a great deal of attention.. The movie has an impressive cast that includes Srinithi Shetty, Prakash Raj, Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon.

The Mohra actor, who previously acted alongside 'Real Star' Upendra in the 1999 movie Upendra, plays the role of a political bigwig in the film. Her character reportedly issues a warrant against the hero, a development that alters the course of the narrative. Dutt, on the other hand, plays a negative role in what is the first Kannada film of his career. His look has become the talk of the town as it has a distinct Vikings vibe.

His character, referred to as Adheera, is likely to have action scenes with the 'Rocking Star'. Prakash Raj's association with the film has also piqued the curiosity of fans. There was speculation that he had replaced Anant Nag in the film but the director clarified that he plays a completely different character.
