While we wait for an official confirmation, let's learn an interesting trivia that makes the whole thing even more exciting!
Yes, you read it absolutely right! As already mentioned, the second film of the Prashanth-Ajith collaboration will lead to 'KGF 3'. And according to some reports, Ajith Kumar and Rocking Star Yash (the lead actor in the 'KGF' franchise) could share the screen space in that film.
Both 'KGF' I and 'KGF 2', directed by Prashanth Neel, were massive commercial successes, setting a new benchmark for mainstream Indian cinema. Set in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the franchise depicts the rags-to-rich story of Raja Krishnappa Bairya aka Rocky in the backdrop of Kolar Gold Fields.

'KGF 3' is rightfully one of the most anticipated Indian films at this moment. And with these latest reports, the excitement surrounding it reaches new heights!
Ajith Kumar (fondly called Thala Ajith) is currently shooting for MagizhThirumeni’s 'Vidaamuyarchi' and Adhik Ravichandran’s 'Good Bad Ugly'simultaneously.
Prashanth Neel has reportedly asked for a commitment of over three years from Ajith for the two films. The first film (tentatively titled 'AK 64') will go on floors in 2025 and will hit the screens in 2026.
The directoris currently busy developing 'Salaar 2'. He will reportedly resume its shoot by mid-August. Next, he has a film with Jr, NTR in his pipeline.
The Tamil superstar's character here is touted to be the biggest in the universe (yes, even bigger than Rocky Bhai and Adheera).
These films won't be the first of Hombale Films in Tamil cinema. They are already making 'Raghu Thatha', starring Keerthy Suresh and directed by Suman Kumar.
Prashanth Neel's vision and Ajith Kumar's stardom together - well, let's just leave it here as the idea itself seems beyond our imagination!!!
