K.G.F: Chapter 2 is slated to release on 16th July 2021 which is the Eid al-Adha weekend, and the holiday weekend will surely give the movie a boost at the box office.
The teaser of K.G.F: Chapter 2 was released on 7th Jan, and till now, it has received more than 164 million views on YouTube. While it is a Kannada film, it will be dubbed and released in various languages including Hindi.
The Hindi dubbed version of K.G.F: Chapter 1 had done a decent business at the box office, and now, there are a lot of expectations from the sequel. A few days ago, there were reports that Excel Entertainment had paid a whopping amount to get the Hindi rights of the film.
A source had told the entertainment portal, Spotboye, “When KGF was made we were not even thinking of a Hindi version. It was done at the last minute and sold to Excel for peanuts. Now things are very different. The investment for the sequel is at least 7 times more than the original. Of course, Excel has had to pay a lot more this time. Isn’t that fair?”
Yash is a star in the Kannada film industry, and with Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon joining the cast of the sequel, K.G.F: Chapter 2 will surely attract the moviegoers in the Hindi belt.
