On
the
occasion
of
Sandalwood
superstar
Yash's
35th
birthday,
the
makers
of
KGF:
Chapter
2
shared
the
teaser
of
the
much
awaited
pan-India
film
of
2021.
The
teaser
of
KGF
2
received
a
positive
response
from
the
masses.
Notably,
KGF
2
teaser
garnered
more
than
150
million
views
on
YouTube.
Despite
gaining
so
much
attention,
the
Yash-starrer
has
recently
landed
into
trouble
for
showing
some
objectionable
scenes
in
the
teaser.
The
Karnataka
State
Anti-Tobacco
Cell
and
Health
Department
have
objected
to
visuals
showing
the
Masterpiece
actor
lighting
a
cigarette
and
smoking.
The
officials
of
the
wing
said
that
since
the
visuals
show
smoking,
it
violated
Section
5
of
the
Cigarettes
and
Other
Tobacco
Products
(Prohibition
of
Advertisement
and
Regulation
of
Trade
and
Commerce,
Production,
Supply
and
Distribution)
Act
2003.
The
departments
have
requested
the
makers
to
delete
the
teaser
from
online
platforms,
as
it
has
shown
those
visuals
without
'disclaimer'.
Apart
from
Anti-Tobacco
Cell,
Karnataka
Health
Department
also
appealed
to
Yash
to
remove
the
problematic
scenes
from
the
KGF
2
teaser.
After
this
appeal,
let's
wait
how
Yash
would
react
to
the
government
wing's
request.
Talking
about
the
film,
KGF:
Chapter
2
is
directed
by
Prashanth
Neel.
The
film
also
stars
Sanjay
Dutt,
Raveena
Tandon,
Srinidhi
Shetty,
Prakash
Raj,
Anant
Nag
and
others
in
pivotal
roles.
The
film
is
expected
to
release
in
the
first
half
of
2021
in
Kannada,
Hindi,
Malayalam,
Tamil
and
Telugu.
