Bengaluru: The movie KGF Chapter 2 has been released on Thursday and reported huge openings worldwide. The film is edited by a twenty-year-old, Ujwal Kulkarni. ETV Bharat spoke to the young editor, about being a film editor.
"I am a true fan of Yash Sir. Sometimes I used to visit him. During that release of KGF 1, I was preparing for the Pre University Exam. My elder brother Vinay told me to enter the cinema industry. Later, I showed some of the edited short films to director Prashant Neel's wife Likhita who in turn showed the videos to director Prashant Neel and I got a chance,' says Ujwal, with a glint of pride.
Ujwal was 17-year-old when he showcased his work to Likhita. "Director Prashant Neel is the reason I become editor of KGF Chapter 2. Each scene was edited by me with his support. I am 20 years old now. I worked on the editing work of KGF Chapter 2 for three years. My father and mother were angry at me because I did not pursue higher education but now they are happy to see people talking about me."
Meanwhile, KGF: Chapter 2 has opened to thunderous first-day numbers. The Yash starrer has set the record for the biggest first-day collections ever.
