The much-anticipated release of KGF Chapter 2 is sweeping across the country and has received a terrific reaction from the fans. The Prashanth Neel directorial and Yash starer has sparked curiosity among the crowd, breaking box office records ever since its release on 14 April.

Interestingly, the editor of this movie is a teen named Ujjwal Kulkarni, with hardly any experience in the field.

The 19-year-old’s hidden talent was unraveled through the short films and fan-made movies on YouTube, which grabbed the attention of director Prashant Neel.

News 18 reported that Ujjwal had made a trailer out of the sequences shot by Prashant Neel’s team earlier, which left Neel in awe of the teenager’s talent, after which he reportedly gave Ujjwal the responsibility of editing the entire film.

The film received great admiration and hype for its technicality, the core of which relies on its editing skills. The fact that the man behind this is a 19-year-old has left the fans flabbergasted.

The film which is produced under the company Hombale films is produced by Vijay Kiragandur.

The film also features Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj, Srinidhi Shetty, and Raveena Tandon along with Yash.

Mumbai (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday rode a motorcycle to the Vidhan Bhavan here and later defended the Centre's austerity measures, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi has only "asked people to make small sacrifices".

He also criticised the Opposition for creating "unnecessary controversy" over the matter, adding that questioning the PM's foreign visits - aimed at strategic alliances and economic benefits - was "sheer foolishness".

Fadnavis arrived at the Vidhan Bhavan in South Mumbai on a motorbike from his residence 'Varsha', with BJP leader and minister Ashish Shelar accompanying him, to attend the swearing-in of new members of the legislative council.

The move comes as part of the measures after PM Modi's appeal to conserve fuel and foreign exchange in view of the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which has disrupted global energy supplies. India relies heavily on West Asia for crude oil and gas imports.

On Wednesday, CM Fadnavis announced a series of austerity measures, including halving the number of vehicles in the convoys of his cabinet colleagues, and cancelling foreign tours of ministers and officials.

Addressing reporters here on Thursday, Fadnavis said the state government had curtailed convoys, cancelled avoidable foreign tours and decided against holding large government events for the next six months.

Targeting the Opposition, the CM said similar austerity measures had been adopted by previous governments, including during the tenures of former prime ministers Indira Gandhi and P V Narasimha Rao, as well as by former finance minister P Chidambaram in 2012.

"The Opposition needs to show some maturity. Countries across the world have taken even tougher decisions. The prime minister has only asked people to make small sacrifices while himself taking very tough decisions. Creating unnecessary controversy over this is not appropriate," he said.

Fadnavis said he travelled by motorcycle to send a message on fuel conservation, adding that symbolic actions by political leaders help spread awareness among people.

"When leaders act symbolically in this manner, the message reaches the people. That is why I came here on a motorcycle," he stressed.

The chief minister said all unnecessary foreign visits by officials and ministers had been stopped, and efforts were underway to reduce fuel consumption and save foreign exchange.

"We have reduced our convoys. Wherever petrol and diesel can be saved, wherever foreign exchange can be conserved, we are making every possible effort," he said.

Fadnavis said a major government event scheduled in Satara on Friday would, however, go ahead as it was planned in advance and expenditure had already been incurred.

He said around 25 lakh families would receive benefits valued at Rs 10,000 crore under the Centre's Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana during the programme.

"After this event, however, no large government programmes will be organised over the next six months," he added.

The CM also dismissed criticism on social media over PM Modi's foreign visits, saying overseas trips aimed at strategic alliances and economic gains for the country should not be equated with avoidable travel.

"The appeal is only against unnecessary foreign travel. It does not mean businessmen should cancel important overseas deals. Criticising the prime minister's foreign visits is sheer foolishness," he said.
