The most awaited film KGF Chapter 2 starring Kannada superstar Yash, Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon is all set to hit the theatres this week. At the time when this film was in the production phase, COVID-19 was spreading very fast in the country and at the same time, Sanjay Dutt got information about his cancer suffering. He recalled that difficult period while talking about it.

The actor shot the climax sequences of KGF 2 during his cancer treatment. Talking about this, the actor said, “Yes, it was challenging not only for me but also for my family. I was still undergoing treatment and during that time chemo sessions were going on. When I started shooting for the climax, I had not fully recovered from cancer. You can do such things when you have a rock-solid support system in your life.”

“The strength of my family and my passion made me mentally ready to get back into acting. I have been brought up with a never give up motivation. For this reason and by the grace of God, today I have won my battle with cancer and am back in normal life. The actor further said the makers suggested shooting this film on a green screen, but as an actor, shooting for this film was very important for me.” he said.
