Director
Prashanth
Neel
is
currently
busy
shooting
the
highly
anticipated
KGF
Chapter
2.
The
first
installation
of
the
KGF
franchise
starring
Yash
enjoyed
enormous
success
and
adulation
across
India
and
went
on
to
set
many
records.
The
director,
in
a
recent
interview
with
a
daily,
opened
up
about
the
sequel
of
his
super
hit
film.
Prashanth
firstly
begins
by
giving
credit
for
the
success
of
KGF:
Chapter
1
to
both
Yash
and
producer
Vijay
Kiragandur.
He
said
“While
the
producer
gave
me
the
money
and
space
for
creating
such
a
grand
film,
Yash
gave
me
his
time.
Both
of
them
believed
in
me
and
in
the
project.
I
was
lesser
known
and
had
relatively
less
riding
on
its
success
than
Yash
and
Vijay.
So,
it
was
a
huge
relief
and
great
joy
to
see
KGF
Chapter
1
do
well.
I
can’t
quite
put
into
words
how
thrilling
it
was.”
On
being
quizzed
if
he
feels
the
pressure
to
deliver
with
KGF:
Chapter
2,
the
director
replied,
“No.
We
chose
to
make
Chapter
1
a
visual
treat
and
saved
most
of
the
content
for
Chapter
2,
so
we
are
confident
of
the
sequel.
All
our
eggs
are
in
the
second
basket,
namely
KGF
Chapter
2.
It
was
a
risk
to
split
the
film
this
way,
but
it
paid
off.
Secondly,
as
mentioned
before,
our
initial
intention
was
to
only
reach
the
Kannada
audience.
All
of
a
sudden
it
became
a
pan
India
film,
and
a
successful
one
at
that,
so
we’ve
already
achieved
more
than
we
hoped
for.”
Speaking
about
the
recently
released
first
look
poster
of
KGF:
Chapter
2,
Prashanth
added,
“Through
the
first
look,
we
have
put
out
a
little
portion
of
what
the
sequel
is
about.
This
is
not
the
entire
story.
The
first
look
of
KGF
Chapter
2
is
a
connecting
point
to
KGF
Chapter
1.”
