Yash‘s KGF Chapter 2 is finally out in the theatres. And if audience reaction is anything to go by, the action drama is a legit blockbuster. Now that the film is on the big screen and receiving wild adulation from fans of Yash and KGF, there’s already keen interest among audiences to find out which top OTT platform has bagged the rights of KGF2. Mind you, the interest is not because people are waiting to watch KGF Chapter 2 when it comes in theatres. No; the interest is because people are watching the film in theatres in large numbers, and are so enamoured that they want to watch it again and again. OTT is obviously the best bet to satiate their craze for KGF2.
We at Binged have got definite information about which OTT platform has grabbed the streaming rights for KGF Chapter 2. There had been strong rumours and speculation earlier, that the OTT rights for KGF2 had been bagged by ZEE5. But, let us tell you that they were just rumours. Top OTT platform Prime Video has bagged the streaming rights for KGF Chapter 2 – and that too, all language versions of the film, KGF 2 in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
Prime Video already holds the streaming rights for KGF, the debut film of the franchise. In fact, KGF was one of the most-watched films on Amazon Prime Video during the lockdown. The canny streamer is obviously not going to squander the chance to host both KGF films on its platform. Also, it is quite obvious that Prime Video has paid a handsome sum to Hombale Films and Excel Movies for the streaming rights of KGF Chapter 2. For those who don’t know, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment holds the rights to the Hindi version of KGF Chapter 2.
KGF, the predecessor of KGF Chapter 2, was also a monstrous hit — across the country, and not just in its home state of Karnataka. Its star Yash became an overnight sensation, and the film became a landmark for Indian action movies. Its sequel KGF 2 hasn’t disappointed either. It has swept away the Indian cinematic landscape with its engaging storyline, exhilarating action sequences, stylish elevation pieces and star performances.
