The period action film, KGF: Chapter 1, directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Yash in the lead role, was a massive blockbuster upon its release in 2018, garnering critical acclaim and highly positive reviews from audience across the country. The movie even went on to win two National Awards, including accolades for Best Action and Best Special Effects.

The shooting for its sequel, KGF: Chapter 2, began on March 13 last year. While Yash will be seen reprising his role as Rocky, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt will be portraying the role of the antagonist, Adheera. A poster revealing Sanjay Dutt's character look was released by the makers yesterday, and fans seemed quite impressed. Meanwhile, fans of actor Ajith edited a picture from the actor's recent venture Nerkonda Paarvai and replaced Sanjay Dutt with Ajith in the poster, which turned out to be spectacular and was shared by several of his fans. Ajith's rugged look in the fanmade poster was loved by the general audience as well.

Meanwhile, fans of Ajith are looking forward to updates regarding the actor's upcoming action thriller film, Valimai, directed by H. Vinoth. Produced by Boney Kapoor, Ajith will be essaying the role of a cop. The movie is expected to release in Summer 2021.
