In Tamil Nadu, Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2, which has grossed over 1000 crore worldwide, has surpassed the 100 crore club. After SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2, this is the second non-Tamil film to achieve this feat. Even four weeks after its release, the film continues to play to packed houses in Tamil Nadu.
Ramesh Bala, an entertainment industry tracker, announced on Twitter that KGF: Chapter 2 has surpassed the $100 million mark in Tamil Nadu. “#KGF2 has joined the 100 crore Gross Club in Tennessee,” he wrote. Following #Baahubali2, becomes the second non-Tamil origin/outside TN import to enter the prestigious TN (sic) 100 crore Gross Club.”
Sanjay Dutt plays the main antagonist in KGF 2, directed by Prashanth Neel. The second chapter follows Rocky bhai (Yash) as he rises through the ranks to become the king of a goldmine. Raveena Tandon plays a pivotal role in the film.
KGF: Chapter 2 was screened in over 10,000 theatres around the world. It’s the biggest Kannada film ever, with dubbed and released versions in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
The sequel to the franchise was released to a lot of anticipation. The success of the first instalment of the franchise was attributed to Yash’s presence in the film. Yash said at the trailer launch event for KGF: Chapter 2 that his director Prashanth Neel deserves all of the credit for the first installment’s success.
“I have a strong attachment to my field.” For my film, I should get the least amount of credit. To be honest, I’m relieved that we’ve completed Chapter 1. Prasanth Neel was the catalyst for KGF. Many people give me credit, but it’s all nonsense. The film is directed by Prasanth Neel. He is entirely deserving of praise. He can even get first-timers to act like seasoned pros.
