The big budget project of director Prashanth Neel is most likely to release this November. It is said that the film has a budget of around 80 crores. The handsome hunk of Kannada industry Yash will be playing the main lead in the movie.

Prashant seems to be very excited about this project and shared with TOI, “KGF has a strong texture of Gold in it. It is about greed and gold. KGF in many ways is akin to El Dorado. The way kings and soldiers have over the years gone looking for mythical El Dorado, where anyone who lays claim to the place ruled the world. This is what Anant Nag says in the film too”.

Adding more to the story, the young director shared, “In 1978, because of the Cold war between USA and erstwhile USSR that had affected places like Iran and Afghanistan, the price of gold went up the highest in the recorded history. Till date one cannot find another time when the price of gold shot up so much. So, 1978 was the perfect setting for us, because the higher the price of gold, the higher the greed of men”.

The director also shared, “Our primary goal is to satisfy the audience in Karnataka. This is something we don’t want to deviate from”. The movie has wide cast including, Srinishi Shetty, Anant Nag, Ramya Krishnan, Nassar, Malavika Avinash and more. We will also see Tamannah in an item song in the movie.
