Plot: www.moviezrulez.com kannada 2022 K.G.F: Chapter 2

The plot of this film connects with its predecessor. For more information on the predecessor’s plot, see K.G.F: Chapter 1.

The night after detailing the events in K.G.F: Chapter 1, Anand Ingalagi suffers a stroke and his son Vijayendra takes over for K.G.F: Chapter 2. Rocky kills heir apparent Virat and takes over the Kolar Gold Fields (K.G.F), keeping Reena hostage to ensure the cooperation of Guru Pandian, Andrews and Rajendra Desai, and kills Kamal when he protests. He issues orders to start work in eight hidden mines. Meanwhile, Adheera resurfaces and kills all guards at an outpost. In a ruse to bring Rocky to Adheera, Andrews kills Desai to lure Reena outside K.G.F, and John captures Reena. Adheera shoots Rocky but spares his life, while his men roadblock all gold exports from K.G.F.

Meanwhile, Shetty ties up with other subordinates of Andrews across the Western Coast and exterminates Rocky’s allies with Inayat Khalil’s newfound support, but Rocky’s aides kill Shetty’s associates and recaptures the Coast. A recuperated Rocky along with Reena visits Dubai to deal in gold with Khalil, and also buys AK-47s from him. Rocky and his gang gravely wound Adheera and kill his henchmen with their newly acquired weapons. Exasperated with K.G.F, some central ministers had planned a no-confidence motion against the DYSS-supported government to bring Ramika Sen in power, but Rocky’s henchmen threaten other ministers against the vote and the motion fails. Rocky kills Shetty, gaining control over Bombay.

Pandian warns Rocky of Sen’s rising stature but he disregards him. Three years later in 1981, she wins the Indian general elections and becomes Prime Minister. After CBI officer Kanneganti Raghavan briefs her about the situation in K.G.F, she closes all state borders and authorises him to raid Rocky’s warehouses. A young Ingalagi is caught spying by Rocky’s henchmen, but Rocky is impressed by his integrity. The CBI find nothing in their raids save for a 400 gram-gold bar. Rocky retrieves it from a police station and singlehandedly brings the place down with a DShK.

Rocky halts all exports from K.G.F but continues the mining. His aides trace his biological father, a drunkard who abandoned his family, and Rocky anoints the unaware man caretaker of his mother’s newly shifted grave. Reena confesses her feelings to Rocky and they get married. Rocky meets with Sen and hands her a file exposing his involvement in money laundering but she cannot consider it as almost all her party members were complicit in the corruption. Still furious after his defeat, Adheera makes his way to K.G.F through a secret passage with Andrews, Daya, John, supported by Khalil’s armada.

Just as Reena reveals her pregnancy to Rocky, Adheera fatally snipes her. In the ensuing clash, Rocky’s army kill Andrews and Daya, while Rocky kills John and chokes Adheera to death. Rocky and his henchmen disrupt Sen’s speech at the Parliament and kill Pandian. Pandian had staged the attack on Garuda for which Adheera was framed, and informed Adheera of Garuda’s attack priorly. He was also the one who showed Adheera the secret passage, goaded Andrews into hiring Rocky, staged the no-confidence motion drama in Delhi and persuaded Shetty to join forces with Khalil just to gain Rocky’s trust. Sen issues a death warrant against Rocky and enforces the Indian Army. Rocky evacuates K.G.F and leaves on a ship with his cache of gold. He signals the Navy to his location but refuses to surrender.

Sen issues orders to bomb K.G.F and Rocky’s ship, and he drowns in the ocean along with the gold, which stays lost till date. Before leaving, Rocky had formed a new colony for all K.G.F workers. A young Ingalagi decides to write a book on Rocky. In a mid-credits scene, three months post-Rocky’s death, a CIA official hands over a file listing Rocky’s crimes in United States and 16 other nations between 1978-1981 to Sen. In the present, the peon of the television news channel finds the final draft of K.G.F: Chapter 3.

Development

Prashanth Neel, worked on the film’s screenplay after the release of Ugramm (2014), and development of the film began in early 2015. However, he decided to split the film in two parts, as the narration of this story is in a non-linear format, and the decision to split the film into two parts, also had to with the commercial prospects. In an interview with The Times of India, in October 2018, he added “The scale of the project is huge and we had a scope for a beginning, an interval and an end for both parts, so it made sense for us to release it as two parts”. As for the decision to make it multilingual, he says that it was because the film is based on a unique idea and has a universal theme. In December 2020, Prashanth Neel said that there were no plans for a third instalment in the K.G.F franchise.

Prashanth Neel decided to rope in composer Ravi Basrur and cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda as a part of the technical crew for the second part of the film.

Casting

“Adheera is one of the greatest characters I have played. He’s a powerful villain — mentally and physically. He is almost like a viking. To ensure that I could do justice to his larger-than-life presence, I trained hard to get the physicality fit. Along with that, I mentally trained hard as well, so that I could be the greatest force to take on Yash’s Rocky. Even for my role in Agneepath, I didn’t wear the bald cap or use prosthetics but completely shaved off my head. And the result has been there for everyone to see.”
