KGF:
Chapter
1
broke
many
box
office
records
and
launched
Kannada
actor
Yash
into
prominence
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
To
top
it,
the
makers
and
cast
of
the
film
started
with
a
bang
by
making
an
amazing
announcement.
KGF:
Chapter
2
will
star
Bollywood
rockstar
Sanjay
Dutt
as
the
film's
villain,
Adheera.
The
makers
released
a
poster
of
Sanjay
Dutt
as
Adheera
and
fans
went
crazy.
Yash
recently
revealed
that
Sanjay
Dutt
was
their
only
choice
to
play
the
character,
irrespective
of
which
language
the
film
was
going
to
be
made
in.
Yash
told
Pinkvilla,
"Sanjay
ji
was
the
first
choice
for
the
role
from
the
beginning.
Even
when
we
planned
to
make
the
film
only
in
Kannada,
he
was
choice
for
the
character
of
Adheera.
When
Prashant
narrated
the
character,
he
was
hell
bent
on
signing
Sanjay.
We
had
even
approached
him
for
the
first
part
but
he
was
occupied
with
some
other
commitment."
Yash
feels
that
Sanjay
Dutt's
addition
to
the
film
is
invaluable.
"His
addition
will
be
a
big
boost
to
KGF
franchise.
He's
a
wonderful
actor,
and
we're
happy
he's
on
board."
On
Sanjay
Dutt's
birthday,
Farhan
Akhtar,
who
is
producing
the
film,
had
taken
to
Twitter
to
announce
that
Dutt
was
going
to
be
part
of
the
film.
He
wrote,
"I
remember,
as
a
kid,
watching
him
shoot
for
his
debut
film
'Rocky' on
bandstand
and
all
these
years
later
we're
finally
collaborating
on
something
special.
Here's
presenting
@duttsanjay
as
Adheera
from
#KGFChapter2."
(sic)
Dutt
too
is
excited
to
play
Adheera's
character
on
screen.
At
an
event,
he
said,
"In
KGF,
Adheera's
character
is
very
powerful
and
if
you've
seen
Avengers,
you
would
have
seen
Thanos,
so
Adheera
is
similar
to
him."
