KGF - Chapter 2 to get more than 400 early morning shows in Karnataka single-screen theatres on April 14?

KGF and Yash fans are waiting with bated breath for news on domestic advance booking opening, what with the fantastic response to the same in the overseas market. The latest we hear is that advance booking of KGF: Chapter 2 is likely to begin by this weekend, most probably April 8, when the first list of theatres in Karnataka is expected to be out.

Industry insiders expect KGF: Chapter 2 to start its box-office innings on April 14 with as many as 400 early morning shows, although that number is being disputed given that Karnataka has only between 600-700 single-screen theatres, some of which will have Beast and Jersey playing. As was the case with RRR, KGF: Chapter 2 is also expected to have midnight shows too on day 1, which could allow theatres to accommodate 6 screenings (in total) on the day. Interestingly, KGF: Chapter 2 advance booking has started in select theatres in Kerala, with morning shows as early as 4.30 am.

Last week, Hombale Films, the makers of KGF: Chapter 2 had said that KGF: Chapter 1 would be re-released in select locations to allow fans to relive it on the big screen ahead of the sequel. As of today, bookings have begun opening for KGF: Chapter 1 in Bengaluru, with more to be added shortly.

Directed by Prashant Neel, KGF: Chapter 2 is the second and final instalment in the Rocky tale. Led by Yash, the cast also includes Srinidhi Shetty, Prakash Raj, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Vasishta N Simhaa, Tarak Ponnappa, John Kokken, Ramachandra Raju, Achyuth Kumar, Malavika Avinash, Archana Jois, among others.
