KGF chapter 2 releasing on announced date, KGF will not change its theatrical release date.
Thursday, 12th August 2021
Whatever happens, Kannada superstar Yash's long-awaited sequel to the 2018 global blockbuster KGF will not be available on the OTT platform. As the release date is pushed forward, there is no clear or even hazy indication of when audiences, particularly in the North, will return to theatres.
“They are getting extremely tempting offers to break their theatre-only resolve,” says a source close to Yash. Though the source will not discuss numbers, I have learned from a very reliable source that KGF Chapter 2 has received a lucrative offer for a digital premiere from a major streaming platform.

“However, Yash will not disappoint his fans by releasing KGF 2 on the digital platform. If necessary, they will release the South Indian version in Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil first, followed by the Hindi version when audiences in North India show an interest in returning to theatres,” says a source close to Yash.
It's difficult to turn down such a generous offer from a digital platform, especially when the KGF producers know that getting bums on seats in theatres will be difficult for at least another year. Yash, on the other hand, is a diehard fan of his fans. Having committed to only releasing the film in theatres, Yash is unlikely to change his mind, no matter how strong the temptation.
Yash once told me, "No matter how long we have to wait, we will release KGF 2 only in theatres." We can wait if the audience can.”
