'KGF : Chapter 2' directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Yash has created history by breaking several records across India and abroad. The Hombale Films produced pan Indian biggie has put Kannada cinema on the world map much like how the 'Baahubali' films did to Telugu cinema.

Meanwhile veteran maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has heaped praise on the film on his Twitter page in a series of tweets. He wrote "The MONSTER success of KGF 2 is a clear proof that if money is spent on MAKING and not wasted on STAR RENUMERATIONS bigger QUALITY and BIGGEST HITS will come. Forget Hindi film industry, not even telugu and Tamil film industries ever took Kannada film industry seriously till KGF and now Prashanth Neel put it on the world map."

The controversial director added "Like very much how Rocky Bhai comes to Mumbai to machine gun the villains, Yash is literally machine gunning all the Bollywood stars opening collections and it’s final collections will be a nuclear bomb thrown on Bollywood from Sandalwood. Prashanth Neel's 'KGF2' is not just a gangster film but It’s also a HORROR film for the Bollywood industry and they will have nightmares about it’s success for years to come."

'KGF 2' has the ensemble cast of Rocking Star Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Srinidhi Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Prakash Raj, Malvika Avinash, Achyuth Kumar, Ayyappa P. Sharma, Rao Ramesh, Eshwari Rao, Archana Jois, T. S.
