“The film has been a special journey for us in more ways than one. All those who have often labelled him as irresponsible, non-committed and a bad boy must watch this film to see his determination, dedication and commitment,” Maanayata said. For the unversed, Sanjay shot for ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ while battling cancer.

Describing Sanjay as a “hero”, Maanayata added, “Sanju shot this film during the most vulnerable phase of his life… our lives. He shot uncomplainingly, all those strenuous scenes with the same passion as ever. For me he is the HERO of the film. Cool, powerful, spirited and a fighter to the very end! KGF2 belongs to Adheera! Having said that, Sanju is back with a bang, and he couldn’t have said it better himself – aa raha hoon mein.”

‘KGF: Chapter 2’ is a follow-up of the Kannada blockbuster ‘KGF: Chapter 1’. Starring South star Yash in the lead, the first part’s narrative follows an underdog who later becomes a dangerous gangster. The sequel stars Sanjay as antagonist Adheera. Raveena Tandon is also a part of the film.
