His company recently followed “RRR” by releasing “KGF 2,” a hit sequel that topped the former’s grosses worldwide.

Last week, KGF 2, a Kannada film which was also dubbed into other languages, released in 4,500 screens across India - a number usually reserved for Bollywood superstars such as Salman Khan.

The current anxiety, he adds, is because Pushpa, RRR and KGF 2 released so close to each other.
