Kannada director Prashant Neel shot to overnight fame with the runaway success of KGF Chapter 1. His debut film Ugramm also stood as a super hit in Sandalwood.
Neel is currently working for KGF's sequel KGF Chapter 2 and Young Rebel Star Prabhas's Salaar simultaneously. KGF 2's release date has been locked to July, 2021. But then, the second wave of coronavirus pandemic forces the filmmakers to defer the release dates of their films.
It's heard that team KGF 2 is contemplating to lock their film's release on October 13 as a Dasara gift for the audience. However, Icon Star Allu Arjun's Pushpa part 1's release date has also been zeroed to October 13. In such a case, there will be a fierce combat between Pushpa and KGF 2 at the box office arena.
But then, who will lose more with this clash? It's said Neel would feel the heat of Pushpa, certainly. KGF had enjoyed a solo release thus the audience loved the film unanimously. If Pushpa is released on October 13, the lion share of opening collections will be captured by Pushpa as Pushpa has also been made as a powerful mass entertainer like KGF. Moreover,Allu Arjun enjoys far bigger craze than the KGF hero Yash. On the other hand, Sukumar has already proved he is an outstanding director with consistent hits. His previous film Rangasthalam stood as an industry hit.
On the other hand, Neel is alleged to have not paid complete attention on KGF 2 making. He dedicated 4 years for his debut film Ugramm making. He devoted 3 years for KGF. On the contrary, he is working parallel for both KGF 2 and Salaar.
To sum up, KGF 2 makers should not lock horns with Pushpa for the better performance of their film.
