Those awaiting the release of Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2 will have to wait further. The good news for most of the fans is that the makers have maintained that they don’t have plans for a direct-to-OTT release, but the next theatrical release date is September, provided that there’s no third wave of COVID-19. 

Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel had on Wednesday tweeted, “#KGFChapter2 could’ve a theatrical release on 9th September providing covid is under control by then & theaters reopens across India (sic).”

Another report suggests that the makers of the Prashant Neel directorial are also looking at another release date closer to October end. There has still not been any official confirmation regarding the new release dates of the sequel of the 2018 film, which was the most expensive Kannada film made on a reported budget of Rs 100 crore.

While a direct-to-OTT release is ruled out due to the huge budget of the film, which also stars Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon in pivotal roles, Amazon Prime Video is reportedly in discussions with the makers for its digital rights. 

KGF: Chapter 2 will follow the story of Raja Krishnappa Bhairya aka Rocky, who emerges as the overlord of Kolar gold fields at the end of the first chapter. Sanjay will play the main antagonist of the film, which was initially set to release in theatres on July 16. 

Much like the first film, the sequel will also be dubbed in several languages including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi.
