Yash-starrer
KGF:
Chapter
2
which
released
in
April
this
year,
smashed
many
records
at
the
box
office.
The
film
surpassed
the
lifetime
collection
of
Aamir
Khan's
Dangal
to
become
the
second
highest-grossing
movie.
Soon,
the
makers
confirmed
that
the
third
installment
in
the
franchise
and
since
then,
fans
have
been
eagerly
waiting
for
new
updates
on
the
same.
Amid
this,
there
were
reports
floating
in
the
media
that
Bollywood
star
Hrithik
Roshan
has
been
approached
for
KGF:
Chapter
3.
In
an
interaction
with
Asianet
Newsable,
Vijay
Kiragandur
of
Hombale
Films
reacted
to
these
speculations.
Vijay
said,
"We
have
not
yet
decided
upon
the
star
cast
as
to
who
is
going
to
be
added
additionally.
KGF:
Chapter
3
will
not
happen
this
year.
We
have
some
plans,
but
Prashanth
(Neel)
is
busy
with
Salaar
at
the
moment
while
Yash
will
be
announcing
his
new
movie
soon.
Therefore,
we
need
them
to
come
together
at
the
right
time
when
they
are
free
to
begin
work
on
KGF
3.
As
of
now,
we
don't
have
a
fixed
date
or
time
as
to
when
the
work
on
the
third
instalment
will
start."
Clearing
the
air
around
Hrithik's
casting,
he
continued,
"Once
we
have
finalised
the
dates,
we
will
be
in
a
better
position
to
zero
down
on
the
star
cast.
And
when
the
process
to
cast
other
actors
begins,
it
will
also
hugely
depend
upon
their
availability
at
that
time.
Everything
depends
on
when
the
work
on
the
third
instalment
begins."
Previously
in
an
interview
with
a
leading
news
portal,
Kiragandur
had
said
that
the
third
installment
of
KGF
will
hit
the
shooting
floors
in
October
this
year
and
that
the
makers
are
eyeing
a
2024
release.
When
this
news
went
viral,
the
film's
executive
producer
Karthik
Gowda
tweeted
that
they
have
no
plans
to
start
KGF:
Chapter
3
'anytime
soon'.
