Top Bollywood distributor Anil Thadani may be releasing Yash starrer KGF in Hindi. Yash, director Prashant Neel and producer Vijay Kiragandu met the top distributor in Mumbai this week leading to speculation. Thadani is considered one of the top most distributors of Bollywood.

He has released half the films of Karan Johar. His last big distribution success is Stree last month. Thadani is more popularly known to Kannada audience as Raveena Tandon's husband. KGF is made on a mega scale and is being released in five languages. Kiragundur himself is a top distributor in Kannada. The film is being marketed aggressively in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. It was speculated that a big time distributor will promote the film in Hindi. It is likely to be Thadani.

Prashanth Neel's PAN India film 'Salaar' being produced by Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films was launched in Hyderabad on Friday. Deputy Chief Minister Ashhwathnaryan, Yash, Prabhas and others were present during the occasion.

'Salaar' is a Telugu and will be released in other Indian languages including Kannada. The film is said to be a remake of Prashanth Neel's debut film 'Ugram'. Prashanth and Prabhas were supposed to collaborate for the film five years ago. However, the film got delayed as both of them got busy with their prior commitments. Now, the film has finally been launched with Vijay Kiragandur bankrolling the project.

The regular shooting for the film will commence from February as Prabhas is busy with the final leg of 'Radhe Shyam'. The shooting for the film will be held in specially erected sets in Bangalore and Hyderabad. Bhuvan Gowda is the cinematographer, while Ravi Basrur is in charge of the music.

Also, producer Vijay Kiragandur has maintained that he has not received any court order restraining the release of the film KGF. Further makes it clear that the movie will hit the screens as scheduled on Friday without any changes to it. 

The makers have also made it clear that the film is not based on the life of any person, living or dead.

In a huge relief to the makers of KGF Chapter 2 film, the Karnataka High Court on Thursday has allowed the shooting of the film at Cyanide Hills in Kolar Gold Field.

The producer of KGF Chapter 2, Vijay Kiragandur had approached the court against the order of a court in Kolar, which had halted the shooting of the film. The Kolar Court had passed the orders on the suit filed by one N. Srinivas, a resident of KGF, alleging that the shooting of the movie at cyanide hills in Kolar Gold Fields in Kolar District caused environmental damage.

The producers of the movie have given an undertaking before the High Court that the shooting of the film will be wrapped up in 25 days and the team will not damage the environment and as well as will plant 500 saplings after the shooting is completed.

Several movies have been shot at the Cyanide Hills in Kolar Gold Field in the past too. Presently, a defunct area, Cyanide Hills is where the debris of the gold mining were dumped.

Hombale Productions had earlier said that it would be announcing a new venture on the 17th of December. As the date coincides with actor Srimurali's birthday, it was believed that the production house's new project will be obviously with Srimurali.

The project has been finally announced and Hombale Productions' eight venture will star Srimurali and has been titled as 'Bhageera'. Dr Suri who had earlier directed Yash's 'Lucky'. One of the highlights is, Prashanth Neel who gave a big break to Srimurali through 'Ugram' has penned the story of the film.

'Bhageera' will be launched next year and the first look poster of the film was released on Murali's birthday. Srimurali plays a police officer in this film. More details are yet awaited.

Yash starrer 'KGF 2' is nearing completion and the team is busy shooting major portions for the film in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, the teaser of the film is all set to be released on Yash's birthday next year.

Yash will be celebrating his birthday on the 8th of January. Meanwhile, the team is planning to gift him a teaser of the film. By that time, the shooting for the film will be completed and the promotion of the film will start from the teaser release of the film.

Film: KGF 2

Director: Prashant Neel

Duration: 168 minutes

Cast: Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Srinidhi Shetty, Achyuth

Stars: 4/5

Firstly, make sure you watch this film in the biggest screen in a multiplex which can provide the best showcase for the visual and acoustic grandeur that will be unleashed on your senses. KGF2 carries the aura of awe as the 'monster' of all mass films. And it mostly lives up to the hype.  

The canvas and magnificence of the first part had to be magnified manifold in Chapter 2. Prashant Neel manages to do it by creating some of the most stunning action sequences you have watched in Indian movies. The sequences, from "Doddamma" to the Kalashnikov and the car chase to the epic clash between Rocky and Adheera, is a grand procession of remarkably choreographed and conceptualised fights. 

We are already familiar with the life of Rocky; his troubled childhood, the inspiration and mentor that his mother's memories that continue to influence him and how he establishes himself in gold country KGF. The second half of this journey begins right where the first ended.

One-man-army is an understatement for what Rocky can achieve. He is the perfect combination of brains and brawns who can not take a misstep, who can not lose a fight, who always speaks the best lines and does not mind stooping to conquer what he wants. He can think ahead of anyone in the room and outmaneuver every opposition. Again, it would be an understatement to say Rocky carries the film on his shoulders. He is the film. Yash and Neel keep the film spinning around Rocky without a pause. The machismo oozes out from every frame. 

Only two characters can pose a threat to the empire being built by Rocky; Adheera who was one of the original builders of KGF and the Prime Minister of India herself. So how does India's greatest ever criminal face up to the challenge? That requires a visit to the theatres. 

A unique style of Neel is to intercut two completely different scenes and propel the story, akin to the juxtaposing of mere images we would see in  director Angles films. The director seems to enjoy playing with this as it can be found throughout Chapter 2. This technique makes the narrative seem quick.

Another noticeable feature is every scene being a set piece. In themselves, each scene is meant to be an imposing monument. This works perfectly for every action scene in the film and there are plenty of them. Where it falters however is the emotional scenes. Romance or whatever Srinidhi Shetty was supposed to bring to the table is hardly relatable. She does not even get to cheer like the heroins of the 80s when the hero is trashing the villains. The mentoring of the mother and the protagonist's continued recourse to her memories are repetitive. Looks like this part of the emotion was exhausted in the first part itself. 

The carryover characters from the first part have the effect of turning into caricatures. But the situation is saved by the arrival of fresh blooded characters played by Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Rao Ramesh and Prakash Rai. Rao Ramesh as the CBI chief impresses and so does Raveena Tandon as Prime Minister Ramika Sen  

Neel's ability is to elevate every single scene into a celebration; a Sidney Sheldon novel on the screen. Since it is a celebration, you have to partake in it, even if some of them seem farcical. He pays glowing tributes to quite a few cinematic influences. The car chase is an ode to the one in Fury Road. Rocky is even inspired by Gordon Gekko from Wall Street and almost delivers the Greed is Good speech. 

Rocky's character gets the best of the one-liners and punch dialogues. Though the character's style changes, his speech does not, which is a bit disconnected. The actor however manages to stamp his presence on the screen imperiously. He is really the larger-than-life character Neel imagined. 

KGF 2 will rank among the most technically accomplished films. You can't even begin to imagine the logistics of the editor. The cinematography, as we had seen in the first part, has changed the tone of all action films for years to come. Without Ravi Basrur KGF would be different letters altogether. He never lets the heartbeat go a beat slower. 

If you liked Chapter 1, you can blindly give Chapter 2 all the five stars. Wait for the credit-cookie after the film ends, which will surely pump up the excitement some more. 

The KGF series has put Sandalwood on a new trajectory. For that alone, the team deserves a standing ovation.
