Despite the big box office clash and the Aamir Khan factor, the makers of the KGF sequel had not changed their release date and fans had hailed their decision.
Now, as Laal Singh Chaddha got postponed, many fans took to social media to hail the stardom of Yash and his pan-India appeal. Other fans were cheerful about the fact that KGF: Chapter 2 will now have no major opposition when it releases on April 14.
Check out some reactions on Twitter.
As things stand now, Shahid Kapoor's Jersey, which is the remake of a Telugu film of the same name, is set to clash with KGF: Chapter 2 on April 14. Jersey stars Shahid in the role of a former cricketer in his late 30s who makes his comeback in the game because of his son. It also features Mrunal Thakur. The film was earlier pulled from its theatrical release days before it was scheduled to open on December 31, due to a surge in coronavirus cases in the country.
KGF: Chapter 2 also stars Sanjay Dutt in the role of an antagonist named Adheera. Raveena Tandon plays the role of Prime Minister Ramika Sen. The movie is helmed by Prashanth Neel.
