Set against the backdrop of the Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka, KGF showcases the story of Rocky (Yash) who aims to win the world and conquer the bloodiest gold mine. The film is is made in five languages, namely Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam.

Like SS Rajamouli's magnum opus 'Baahubali', KGF will be released in two chapters. Interestingly more than 20% of KGF Chapter 2 has already been shot even before the release of the first chapter.
