Fans
and
followers
of
Yash
and
the
KGF
series
are
on
cloud
nine
as
the
shoot
of
the
highly-anticipated
film
KGF:
Chapter
2
began
yesterday,
after
6
months
of
COVID-19
break.
With
the
big
update
came
a
rumour
that
Anant
Nag
has
been
replaced
by
versatile
actor
Prakash
Raj,
thanks
to
a
few
pictures
from
the
sets
that
went
viral
on
social
media.
Apparently,
the
Naanu
Nanna
Kanasu
actor
was
seen
in
an
attire
similar
to
that
of
Anant's
character
from
the
first
instalment
of
the
movie,
which
confused
many
who
came
to
the
conclusion
that
the
latter
dropped
out
of
the
project.
Well
now,
the
director
of
the
film,
Prashanth
Neel
has
refuted
the
ongoing
rumours
and
has
said
that
Anant
Nag
is
indeed
a
part
of
the
second
instalment
too,
and
Prakash
Raj
is
a
new
entrant
for
the
film.
The
Cinema
Express
quoted
him
as
saying,
"Prakash
Raj
is
definitely
not
a
replacement
to
Anant
Nag.
He
is
a
new
entry
and
this
is
a
new
character
in
the
movie."
It
is
reported
that
the
first
ten
days
of
the
shoot
from
August
26,
2020
will
include
actors
Malavika
Avinash,
Prakash
Raj
and
Nagabharna.
The
lead
actor
Yash
will
join
the
team
after
a
few
days
of
the
shoot,
for
filming
the
high-voltage
climax
sequence
of
the
action-thriller
that
features
him
and
Sanjay
Dutt.
As
the
Bollywood
actor
was
diagnosed
with
lung
cancer
and
is
currently
undergoing
treatment
for
the
same,
the
makers
have
reportedly
roped
in
a
duplicate
of
Sanju
for
the
sequence.
KGF:
Chapter
2
also
features
an
ensemble
cast
that
includes
Srinidhi
Shetty,
Raveena
Tandon,
Balakrishna,
Saran
Shakthi
and
Achyuth
Kumar.
The
action-thriller
is
backed
by
Vijay
Kiragandur
under
Hombale
Films
banner
and
will
simultaneously
release
in
Kannada,
Telugu,
Hindi,
Tamil
and
Malayalam.
