The first look of Yash as Rocky from the sequel was shared by the makers in December 2019. The poster featured a bell-bottom clad Yash raising a pillar along with the mineworkers

KGF: Chapter 1 was Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment's debut into Kannada territories as a production house. They are also scheduled to back and distribute the sequel to the film.

The narrative of the first part follows an underdog who later becomes a dangerous gangster.  KGF: Chapter 1 had ended with Rocky (Yash) murdering Garuda and freeing Adheera from the promises he made to his brother Suryavardhan, the second installment will revolve around the power struggle between Rocky and Adheera, which the filmmakers have described as “mother of all collisions."

Produced by Hombale Films, KGF: Chapter 2 will release worldwide in multiple languages namely Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi.

An FIR was filed against Tanfon, director Farah Khan and television personality Bharti Singh in Nagpur for allegedly hurting sentiments of a community. The complainant has claimed that the three "made a mockery" of the religious term during a television show telecast on 25 December last year, reports Press Trust of India.

Soon after the controversy erupted in December, Khan and Tandon apologised and had said all three of them never intended to offend anyone.
