Yash's highly anticipated action drama, KGF: Chapter 2 released yesterday (April 14) and the film is off to a phenomenal start at the box office. The film has also been releasing highly positive reviews from critics and the general audience. Following the astounding opening, KGF 2 has now become the go-to film for the masses in Tamil Nadu. A well-known fact is that Thalapathy Vijay's Beast has also released for the Tamil New Year weekend and it is doing great business at the box office. Tamil Nadu is Vijay's forte and the film has got a massive release on a record number of screens.

Despite the mixed reviews, Beast is doing some great business at the box office, but the demand for KGF 2 has turned out to be phenomenally huge, surprising a lot of people in the trade. KGF 2 has released in Tamil Nadu in around 350 screens through SR Prabhu's Dream Warrior Pictures. Following the highly positive response, KGF 2 has now been receiving numerous ticket requests and the theatre exhibitors are finding it a challenging task to fit in shows. Due to the overwhelming response and unreal demand, several theatres across Tamil Nadu have allotted midnight shows and early morning shows (from 12 AM - 6 AM) and even those shows have been going houseful.

Despite being a dubbed film, KGF 2 is having a dream run in Tamil Nadu and the shows and screens have already been increased. More shows are expected to be added in the coming days and it looks like there is no stopping Rocky Bhai's rage in Tamil Nadu. SR Prabhu, the distributor of KGF 2 sounded delighted about the performance of the film in his latest tweet that read, "Never seen before craze for a film in the recent times!! The box office is on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #KGFChapter2 #KGF2 World is #RockyBhai Territory!!!".

KGF: Chapter 2 is directed by Prashanth Neel and features Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist, playing the deadly character of Adheera. Produced by Hombale Films
