No Telugu satellite rights have ever been sold. There was talk about this a few days ago. Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh's Avery Cable Channel has unofficially aired KGF Chapter-1, targeting Kengani. The incident has occurred even previously when a few local channels in Tamil Nadu telecasted movies illegally. The offices of these channels were also seized due to the same reason.

When released, 'KGF' was a massive success, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The movie grossed Rs. 20 crore in the two states itself. Soon after, the makers decided to shoot for a sequel and thus now the audiences are eagerly awaiting the release of 'KGF Chapter 2'. The movie also stars Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon in important roles this time. Dutt plays the role of Yash's antagonist Adheera in 'KGF Chapter 2'. The movie, originally slated for July 30, 2020, release, is likely to be delayed owing to coronavirus lockdown situation.
