A massive nationwide hit, the Kannada film, K. G. F: Chapter 1, released towards the end of 2018 went on to be declared the highest-grossing film in the Sandalwood film industry while also receiving a thunderous response from fans everywhere making 'Rocking Star' Yash a national sensation among the youth. Post the grand success of the first installment in the two-part series, director Prashant Neel is at present helming the second part titled, K. G. F: Chapter 2, and once again under Vijay Kiragandur’s Hombale Films banner with Yash, reprising his role as Raja Krishnappa Bairya aka. "Rocky".

With production on KGF 2 progressing at a steady pace in light of its theatrical release this year, Yash has now in a recent interview to a popular national daily revealed that the upcoming sequel will include double the action in comparison to the first film that came out nearly two years back. Dismissing reports that he and director Prashanth Neel have decided to bring down the violence a notch in KGF 2, the Kannada superstar says that everything is going to be bigger in KGF: Chapter 2 and that includes the action sequences as well. He further adds that the fights will only get bloodier, more gory and longer than what was witnessed in the first KGF film as his character and Sanjay Dutt as the dreaded Adheera will be going full out on each other with more brawn power. Yash has also revealed that there will be two major face-off action scenes between them, which will be very violent, and is not a film that is for kids.

Yash's KGF: Chapter 2 will see composer Ravi Basrur belting new tunes with expectations for him to carry forward the momentum of the electrifying background score once again as was heard in the first installment. Furthermore, Anant Nag as Anand Ingalagi, Malavika Avinash as Deepa Hegde, Archana Jois as Shanthamma, Vasishta N. Simha as Kamal, Avinash B S as Andrews will be reprising their roles from the first film with Ramachandra Raju also likely to return as Garuda. KGF 2 will include new cast members starting with Bollywood superstars Sanjay Dutt as Adheera and Raveena Tandon as Ramika Sen followed by Vada Chennai fame Saran Sakthi and popular Telugu actor Rao Ramesh in major supporting roles.
