The topic of 'KGF: Chapter 3' isn't likely to diffuse anytime soon. Despite the makers asserting that their current focus is on other projects, fans' curiosity remains unaltered as they continue to seek more clarity regarding the film's commencement. And the internet too is brimming with speculations that seem to only fuel the discussion further while also suggesting that the wait for 'Chapter 3' will be a long one.
Going by both Prashanth Neel and Hombale Pictures' upcoming schedules, many online reports have speculated that KGF 3 is likely to be kicked off only in 2025. This obviously debunks the many claims about the film going on floors sometime during the fag end of 2022 and with Karthik Gowda (executive producer) himself stating that the production house is currently prioritizing other projects, it would be safe to say that the 'Chapter 3' prospects won't be realized in the coming months.
And with Prashanth Neel currently helming the bilingual Salaar, starring Prabhas and Shruti Haasan, to then move on to the Jr. NTR film (currently titled #NTR31), it is likely that he takes close to three years to wrap it all up. Considering the third installment of the KGF series needing a new narrative altogether and the scale it will eventually demand, the potential theatrical release will only be in 2025 and not any time sooner. However, all speculations aside, one will have to await an official word on the matter to seek further clarity.
On the other hand, Yash's next still remains a mystery, and speculations regarding that too are rife. While many sources claim that he will be working with filmmaker Narthan of Mufti fame (to be produced by KVN productions), there isn't any confirmation regarding the same, much to the dismay of his fans. More updates to follow soon.
