Prashanth's film is made on a budget of around Rs 80 crore and is the costliest Kannada movie to date. Both critics and audience have praised Yash's KGF for its raw content. Yash's movie has also managed to become the fourth highest grossing movie of South Indian cinema. However, it's still behind Prabhas's Baahubali series and Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar's 2.0. However, the gangster-action-drama is expected to continue minting at the box office due to no big releases in this week.

KGF, which stands for Kolar Gold Fields, is the first part of the two-part series. The movie narrates the story of gangster Rocky's rise from rags to riches. KGF's star cast includes Malavika Avinash, Srinidhi Shetty, Anant Nag, Achyuth Kumar and Vasishta Simha.
