It has surpassed the earnings of other high-grossing Hindi films like Sooryavanshi, The Kashmir Files and RRR’s Hindi version.
Shahid Kapoor’s sports drama Jersey, in comparison, has proven to be disappointing for its makers.
Jersey is a remake of the National Award-winning Telugu film of the same name, which was also directed by Tinnanuri.
It starred Nani in the lead role and was a huge box office hit for the actor.
The sports drama was postponed many times, and was released on April 22, 2022.
The makers of Jersey were accused of plagiarism, according to a report published in the Times of India.
Directed by Prashanth Neel, KGF: Chapter 2 follows an underdog named Rocky who is fighting to retain control over his newly-acquired gold-mining empire at Kolar Gold Fields.
The sequel also stars Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Srinidhi Shetty, Prakash Raj, Malavika Avinash, John Kokken, and Saran.
The film will be getting a wider reach with its streaming premiere.
The film will be premiered on Amazon Prime Video by the end of May.
Recently, while speaking with the Public TV channel, the franchise’s executive producer Karthik Gowda confirmed that pre-production work on KGF: Chapter 3 has begun but did not divulge more details.
