Producer Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films has been misquoted by the media as saying that 'KGF 3' will happen later this year. Media reports said that the movie will be released in 2024. This created some concern among Jr NTR's fans, who have been expecting director Prashanth Neel to complete NTR31 before 'KGF 3'.

Karthik Gowda, the Executive Producer of Homebale Films, has refuted the media reports. He said that 'KGF 3' is not happening anytime soon. There is no time frame by when the Yash-starrer will go on the floors.

"The news doing the rounds are all speculation. With a lot of exciting projects ahead of us, we Hombale Films will not be starting #KGF3 anytime soon. We will let you know with a bang when we start the work towards it," he said on Saturday night.

Prashanth Neel is doing 'Salaar' currently. About 40% of the production works are over. Starring Prabhas, Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film will hit the screens in Summer 2023.
