Multilingual actor Kishore, whose was in the news after claiming that his Twitter account was suspended, has invited a controversy by hailing Yash and Sanjay Dutt’s blockbuster ‘KGF 2’ a “mindless” film.
This has come as a jolt to the fans as ‘KGF’ series is perceived as a pride of Kannada film industry which brought in the film industry under the national prominence.
Kishore, who was appreciated for his work in Rishabh Shetty’s Kantara, stated that he is not a fan of the KGF franchise. He continued to say that he would rather uphold small-budget, content-driven films that address serious issues than “mindless” spectacles. He said, “I don’t know if it is right or wrong, but I haven’t watched KGF 2.” He added it was his personal choice.
KGF 2 was created by Prashanth Neel and marked Sanjay Dutt, Srinidhi Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Prakash Raj, and Rao Ramesh, along with Yash. The film collected over Rs.1200 crore at the box office worldwide. On the other hand, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara also scored greatly at the box office. Kantara collected over 400 crores gross worldwide.
The makers of KGF have announced that they are all set to make the sequel to the film, but nothing has been officially confirmed as of now.
This is not the first time when Kishore has made a bold comment. Following the massive success of ‘Kantara’, many BJP leaders watched the movie and praised the content. In fact, Rishab Shetty had said that ‘Boota Kola’ was part of a Hindu culture.
However, Kishore had a different take on the issue and had warned people not to fall prey to the “brokers of hatred”.“Think for a moment before falling prey to the brokers of hatred, who have already hijacked the national anthem, flag, logo and poets, who have used and abused crores of freedom fighters including Patel Gandhi Bose Nehru, just for Vote (sic),” he wrote on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Kishore has clarified that his Twitter account has not been suspended for violating Twitter rules. “Just to avoid unnecessary misconceptions about the suspension of my Twitter account. My Twitter account was not suspended because of any of my posts,” he wrote. “I have come to know that it was because of hacking on December 20, 2022. Twitter has promised necessary action,” the actor added.
