Bengaluru, April 10 - Director Prashanth Neel shot to fame with Yash-starrer "KGF: Chapter 1" in 2018. It was the film that made Neel one of the visionary directors of the country. His upcoming "KGF: Chapter 2" is arguably the most anticipated Indian movie of the year, and one of the main reasons behind the film's popularity is Neel's vision behind it. ## "KGF2" is Neel's third directorial. His previous two movies, including his debut movie "Ugramm", were huge box office hits. The KGF film introduced Neel to the Pan India phenomena and now, he is working with a couple of the biggest stars of Indian cinema. During a recent interview with a Kannada news channel, Neel opened up about his future projects after "KGF 2". ## The director said that he is committed to only two projects. As known to everyone, he is directing Prabhas in "Salaar". It is touted to be the biggest film in Neel's career as it will be darker and more violent. Produced by Hombale Films, 30% shoot of "Salaar" has already been completed, and the shoot will resume in May this year. The action thriller will debut in theaters in the summer of 2023 in multiple languages, including Hindi. ## Apart from "Salaar", director Neel has confirmed that he will be teaming up with Jr. NTR, who is currently basking on the success of "RRR" which has grossed over 1000 crores worldwide. Neel said that he has been a huge fan of Jr. NTR for the last 20 years and is excited to work with him. Their maiden collaboration, tentatively titled "NTR31", will go on floors sometime in 2023 and will most likely release in 2024. ## The aforementioned films are the only two confirmed projects the filmmaker currently has. There have been multiple reports that Neel would be joining forces with the current talk of the town, Ram Charan for a Pan India film. However, Neel hasn't discussed such a film and it seems Ram Charan's film with him is not going to happen anytime soon. Meanwhile, Neel has a project which he wants to do with Srimurli. He also said that he would love to collaborate with Yash again after the "KGF" films. ## Stay tuned...

Jaipur, April 9 - The biggest film of the year KGF Chapter 2 will arrive in theatres on the 14th of April. The Prashant Neel directed action-thriller is the 2nd installment of the KGF series whose first part was released in 2018 to a smashing box office response.## KGF Chapter 2 starring Yash is an immensely hyped film in all the states of the country. The teaser of the film that was released a long back ago saw an unprecedented response on all the social media platforms.## KGF2 will see a grand release due to the demand for the film but Anil Thadani who is the distributor of KGF2 has refused to screen KGF2 in iconic Raj Mandir cinema as the Raj Mandir cinema had refused to screen Bachchhan Paandey whose distributor was Anil Thadani. So in all, It is an act of revenge taken by Anil Thadani but It will mean KGF2 will lose some business in that property.## That means all the shows in Raj Mandir will be given to Shahid Kapoor's much-awaited Jersey. This is a common problem for most distributors and cinema managers nowadays. The hope is that everything should be sorted out and KGF2 should have a grand clean release.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, April 8 - The long in-making and hugely awaited pan-Indian biggie KGF Chapter 2 starring Yash is all set to explode at the box office from the 14th of April. The film has outstanding anticipation in trade for its box office number.## The last time such anticipation was there for any Indian film was way back in 2017 when the mighty Bahubali2 was released in April 2017. Many predictions are being made and one of the predictions is also there for KGF Chapter 2 to cross the opening day collections of Bahubali2. ## The advance opened to a flying note with many shows being sold out within hours. The KGF Chapter 2 advance has already become the highest advance post the pandemic in its Hindi version in just a few days.## The film will open to a crazy opening day collection and although the film is facing a big competitor in the form of Jersey which is slated to release on the same day, the biz will be compensated by the Ambedkar Jayanti holiday on day one and then it's all about the acceptance from the cine-goers.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, April 7 - Yash-fronted "KGF: Chapter 2" is finally releasing in theaters next week on April 14, and if reports are to be believed, the audience might have their first look glimpse of Prabhas' "Salaar" attached with movie print. ## It is said that since "Salaar" is also being directed by KGF fame Prashanth Neel for the same production house, Hombale Films, there are high chances that the makers have attached 25 seconds of "Salaar" glimpse. However, there is no confirmation about the same yet as makers have refused to comment on the same. ## "Salaar" is one of the most-awaited Pan-India projects and around 30% of the shoot is completed. The makers had originally planned for the movie to release in 2022, but it has been delayed to next year due to the covid-19 pandemic. Just like KGF, the Prabhas-starrer will also reportedly be released in two parts. ## Apart from the speculations about the "Salaar" glimpse, some reports have also stated that there might a be cameo appearance of Prabhas at the end of "KGF2", and "Salaar" might be the continuation of a Yash-led period action thriller film. However, we should wait for either the official confirmation or the release of "KGF2" to unlock the mystery. ## Meanwhile, the advance booking for "KGF: Chapter 2" has been opened in North India and Kerala and the response has been amazing so far. The movie also stars Sanjay Dutt, Srinidhi Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Prakash Raj, among others in key roles.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, April 6 - It is quite strange to use such a headline for an article when we talk about the box office collection in Hindi, but that's how things have become. "KGF: Chapter 2", an outright Kannada movie that will also be released in dubbed versions of other languages including Hindi, is going to be the next big film as far as biz is concerned. ## Having said that, the Yash-fronted movie has been arguably the most-awaited Pan India film that is the second chapter of Kannada's most successful film of all time. While the Hindi dubbed version of the first chapter did score only 44.42 crores net, it was enough to set the tone for the second chapter. Just like SS Rajamouli's "Baahubali 2", Chapter 2 of KGF is touted to run riot at the Hindi box office, which is the biggest hope for the makers. ## Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment will be distributing "KGF 2" in Hindi in association with AA Films. The film is carrying a similar kind of buzz as "Baahubali 2" in Hindi and that's what makes it a film to watch out for on the box office front. The industry is projecting it to open around 25 crores net but we think it has more potential than that and it could open with 30+ crores. With restrictions on cinemas having been lifted, one would rely on the film to open big considering the kind of potential and buzz it is carrying. ## "KGF: Chapter 2" will have a direct clash in Hindi with Shahid Kapoor-fronted "Jersey", which is the official remake of the Telugu movie of the same name starring Nani. In normal times (without clash), "Jersey" could open a huge start at the box office but the same can't be said this time around, especially when it is up against a mighty competitor "KGF 2". ## However, it is still early to rule out "Jersey" as the makers seem to be very confident about their product that they even refused to send it directly on the OTT platform despite getting big offers. Also, Shahid Kapoor's last release, "Kabir Singh" was a massive blockbuster with a worldwide gross of 377 crores. Shahid has always been a fan favorite but the box office success of Kabir Singh made him one of the most bankbale stars in the Hindi film industry.## Both "KGF 2" and "Jersey" will be released on Thursday on the occasion of Vaishakhi. While the industry is projecting Shahid Kapoor-starrer to open around 10 crores, it could get the benefit of a long Holiday weekend if the word of mouth is strong. But it will be KGF 2, which will have the upper hand throughout the weekend. If Prashanth Neel gets positive reviews, then it will be unstoppable at the Hindi box office. ## There is one more film that will be released during the same weekend is Thalapathy Vijay's "Beast". It will open a day earlier on April 13 on the occasion of Tamil New Year. The makers recently announced that it will also be released in Hindi along with other dubbed versions. While Thalapthy Vijay has some fan following in the North region, the movie, however, is unlikely to pause any challenge to "KGF 2" or "Jersey" unless it turns out to be something extraordinary. It will get the benefit of releasing a day earlier, but the makers don't seem to be too optimistic about its box office prospects in Hindi that they haven't put an extra effort to promote the movie expect releasing a couple of promos. In all likeliness, the opening of "Beast" could be below 3 crores in Hindi, and if it receives incredibly positive WOM, then it could be billed upon that. ## Stay tuned...

Apart from these two movies, there is also one more film which is going to hit the screens on 14 April which is Shahid Kapoor starrer Jersey. ## Trade experts have a doubt in their minds on what could potentially be the fate of this movie if it clashes with biggies like KGF chapter 2.## When Shahid Kapoor was asked about this he responded that people will watch good movies.

If KGF chapter 2 turns out to be a good movie it will certainly do good business all over and the same goes for Jersey too.## Shahid Kapoor's last movie Kabir Singh was a blockbuster and it had done outstanding business at the Box office.
