The world of cinema is all set for the release of KGF Chapter 2 this week. The Prashant Neel directorial will hit the screens on April 14th. Ahead of the release, the makers have been involved in extensive promotions for the movie. Considering the craze surrounding the film, the “violent” effects in the market were expected. In line with this, KGF Chapter 2 has smashed a few records before April 14th. We take a look at a few of them in this article:
1) Promo on USA’s biggest billboard
Not just in India, KGF Chapter 2 is receiving massive attention abroad, too. Recently, the prom of the film was played on USA’s biggest billboard, which in itself, is a massive accomplishment.

3) Top advance booking in Hindi, more than RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi
RRR was another magnum opus that was released this year. It is reported that the advance bookings of KGF Chapter 2 have crossed that of RR within just two days.
4) Highest opening in overseas for a Kannada Film
The overseas market has always been tough for Kannada Films to explore. While KGF Chapter 1 opened the gates, the sequel is consolidating the position.
