One of the most successful films of last year was 'KGF: Chapter 1' starring Yash. The movie that released alongside Shah Rukh Khan's 'Zero', performed remarkably well at the box office.

Starring Yash in the lead, the first part's narrative follows an underdog who later becomes a dangerous gangster. The upcoming sequel is said to follow the power struggle between Rocky (Yash) and Adheera (Sanjay).

Helmed by Prashanth Neel, the film will also feature Srinidhi Shetty in a lead role. The first instalment of the film was also directed by Neel.
