Yash starrer Kannada film KGF: Chapter 1, which also released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam, became one of the biggest Pan-India releases of 2018. The action-drama struck gold at the box office and managed to win the hearts of the audience and critics alike. Fans are eagerly looking forward to KGF: Chapter 2 but did you know that the makers of the hit franchise were actually inspired by SS Rajamouli's Baahubali for a wider reach?

In an interview to a leading daily, Yash had revealed, "We are definitely inspired by the passion of Rajamouli sir. He saw our rushes and showered generous praise on me and my film. I am thankful.

He further added, "Yes, in the sense that we did look at their format eventually. Initially, we had no plans of dubbing KGF into non-Kannada languages. We wanted to put out only the Kannada version with English subtitles. But then we saw the Baahubali dubbing and thought of getting a wider audience. So we decided to dub in several languages."
