As the post grabbed many eyes, fans extended their support to the makers and said that local channels have been airing the film for a while now.
The responses took Karthik to surprise, said that the makers would take necessary action against the channels.
Director Prashanth Neel's KGF: Chapter 1, which released in 2018 was one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Kannada actor Yash received international recognition and bagged several accolades for his impeccable performance.
The shooting of its sequel KGF: Chapter 2 has been going on for about a year. The second part will have important roles played by Raveena Tandon and Sanjay Dutt. While the former will essay the role of Ramika Sen, the latter will be seen as the antagonist Adheera.
