Two weeks after its release, Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2 is showing no signs of flagging at the box office. The pan-India blockbuster from down south recently crossed Rs 1,000 crore in worldwide collections and looks on course for greater glories. With this, KGF Chapter 2, directed by Prashant Neel, became the first movie from Karnataka to break into the Rs 1,000 crore club. Overall, it is only the fourth Indian movie after Dangal, Bahubali 2 and RRR to achieve this distinction.
And now, the film has created yet another record by becoming the only Sandalwood film to breach the Rs 100 crore mark in the state of Tamil Nadu.
