Holiday Weekend
It is neither coming this summer nor in July, as reported earlier. Well, KGF 2 will be out on the occasion of Dasara. "The film will either release on 22 or 23 of October. The makers have set their eyes on Dasara holiday weekend," the source claims.

Formal Announcement Awaited
However, this is not the official news and the makers are expected to announce the news in the days to come. It has to be noted that the film's hero Yash had announced that the movie will be out in 2020 itself.

"We will announce the date soon. For a big film, we cannot announce the release date in the press meet of other movie. KGF 2 will release in 2020 itself," the Rocking Star had said in a press meet recently.

The shooting of KGF 2, which has Raveena Tandon playing an important role, is happening at a brisk pace. The team is yet to film a few action blocks and a couple of scenes.

The first instalment in the KGF franchise was released in December 2018. The second instalment was initially planned for release in April 2020. But the shooting has taken more time than expected. Hence, the delay.
