Yash starrer KGF will hit screens on December 21.

KGF, short for Kolar Gold Fields, is the biggest Kannada production to hit the screens this year. A new poster featuring actor Yash was released on Tuesday. It shows Yash overlooking a sea of people standing on the remains of a land that was unapologetically mined for wealth.

KGF is a Kannada period drama that will follow the journey of a hero from the streets of Mumbai to the bloody gold mines of Kolar fields. The film is being made into two parts. The ‘First Chapter’ of KGF, which was in production for two years, will hit the screens on December 21.

The ambitious project will release in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. It will also be dubbed in Chinese and Japanese.

Director Prashanth Neel of Ugramm fame has helmed KGF, which is being touted as Kannada film industry’s costliest film ever. The film also boasts of an all-star cast, including Yash, Srinidhi Shetty, Ramya Krishna, Ananth Nag, John Kokken and Achyuth Rao among others. KGF is bankrolled by Vijay Kiragandur under the banner of Homabale Films production. Ravi Basrur has composed the music for the movie.

Going by the teaser that was released earlier, KGF seems to revolve around the protagonist who leads the war of an oppressed class against its oppressors. It is about Rocky, a badass, and his battle exploits in the 70s and early 80s.
