Earlier, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Yash had said that KGF has nothing to do with any other film. When asked if the movie was inspired by Amitabh Bachchan’s movies, Yash said, “It’s the essence of the belief system, the hero and his heroism – that kind of film. It has nothing to do with any film but in general, the kind of films they used to make, the essence is the same, what whole of India wants to see. At least, whoever I meet, they say they love those kind of films.”

Directed by Prashanth Neel, KGF: 2 also starred Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon and Prakash Raj among others. The film collected more than Rs 1000 crore worldwide.
