The phenomenal success of SS Rajamouli’s RRR in Japan seems to have had an effect on Kannada premium production house Hombale Films, as the production house on Monday announced that their Indian box office smash, KGF, written and directed by Prashanth Neel, will be releasing in the land of the rising sun later this week.
Taking to Twitter, Hombale announced the development. “Save the Date, #Japan! July 14th is the day! We are thrilled to announce that the much-awaited release of #KGFChapter1 & #KGFChapter2 is happening in Japan for the FIRST time ever! Experience the breathtaking journey of Rocky Bhai as he rises to power and takes on the world of crime! Mark your calendars and get ready to witness the cinematic marvel that has captured hearts worldwide!” the production house wrote.
The post was accompanied with a video clip of leading man Yash. Addressing the Japanese audience, he said, “Namaste Japan! My movies KGF 1 and 2 are releasing in Japan. KGF movies are all about strength, courage, power and determination. All these are packed with loads of entertainment and fantastic action. And of course it oozes Rocky’s madness. Come witness the magic at the nearest theatre and I’m sure you’re gonna cherish this for a long time. So Japan fasten your seatbelts.”
The first installment, KGF: Chapter 1, was released in 2018, while the second one, KGF: Chapter 2 released with a bang on April 14 last year, recording the highest opening day collections. While the first one traced the journey of Rocky bhai who eventually becomes the ruler of Kolar Gold Fields, the second one picked up from where the first one left off, with Rocky facing a new nemesis called Adheera. The second one minted more than ₹1,200 crores worldwide.
