The Story So Far
Picking up where Chapter 1 left off, K.G.F: Chapter 2 continues the journey of Rocky Bhai, played by the powerhouse Yash, who has now seized control of the Kolar Gold Fields. But with great power comes even greater enemies. While Rocky becomes a messiah to the oppressed, he becomes a thorn in the side of those who seek control — including politicians, rival gangsters, and the Prime Minister of India herself.
