KGF: Chapter 1 released last year and went on to garner wider critical and commercial success. Adding more to their list of laurels are the National Film Awards won by the film in the catergories of production design, visual effects and action choreography respectively.
The makers are currently shooting for the film's sequel, which continues with the rise and fall of its protagonist Rocky (played by Kannada superstar Yash). The Prashanth Neel-directed action epic has roped in a new actor on board.
Actor Saran Sakthi, who had earlier acted in films such as Kadal, Rummy, Saga, is well known for his performance in the Vetrimaaran-directed 2018 gangster drama Vada Chennai, which had Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajesh in lead roles.
The young actor had posted this update in his official Twitter account, in which he thanked the film's director Prashanth Neel for roping him in the film's starcast. KGF: Chapter 2 will be produced by Hombale Films and the makers recently released the first look of Adheera, played by Sanjay Dutt, which has generated a lot of buzz amongst fans and audiences.
