Director Prashanth Neel's KGF: Chapter 1, which released in 2018, became one of the blockbuster films of the year. The film which starred Yash, Srinidhi Shetty and Malavika Avinash received critical acclaim for its making and won several awards and accolades.

The shooting of its sequel, KGF: Chapter 2 has been going on for about a year. As the team of KGF is gearing up to celebrate the first year anniversary on December 21, they decided to give a surprise for ardent fans of the film.

On December 14, the makers announced that the first look poster of KGF: Chapter 2 will be released on December 21 at 5:45 PM on social media. It is to be noted that the first part of KGF released worldwide on December 21, 2018.

Director Prashanth Neel took to Twitter to reveal the news and added, "Perfect time for celebrations!!!! We are absolutely elated to unveil the #KGFChapter2 First Look on Dec 21st. (sic)"

In the second chapter of KGF, Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt will be essaying the role of Adheera. He is upbeat about his role and even compared it with Thanos from Avengers. He said, "Adheera's character is very powerful. If you have seen Avengers, you would know Thanos. So Adheera is like him. He is a very dangerous character with a dangerous get-up. And that's the zone I was looking for."

On roping in Sanjay Dutt, Yash, in an earlier interview to Cinema Express revealed, "When director Prashanth Neel narrated the character of Adheera, he had himself mentioned that this role needs somebody like Sanjay Dutt. He was there in our mind right from the initial stages, and not after we ventured into five languages. Nor it did emerge after KGF became a huge success."
