Mumbai: Filmmaker Prashanth Neel on Sunday said he has finished shooting the climax sequence of his much awaited action drama "KGF: Chapter 2".

The film is a sequel to the 2018 period-action blockbuster "KGF" starring Yash in the lead.

"KGF: Chapter 2" also features actor Sanjay Dutt, making his Kannada debut.

Neel took to Twitter and posted pictures of the film's cast and crew post the shoots wrap.

"Nothing short of a crazy, exhausting and fulfilling shoot. The best team hands down! @duttsanjay sir a true warrior in real life. @TheNameIsYash a treat to work with as always.

"An end to the climax shoot. Can't wait for the world to see 'KGF Chapter2' only on the big screen," he tweeted.

In August, Dutt, 61, had announced that he would be taking a break from his professional commitments to focus on overcoming his battle with cancer.

The actor resumed shooting for the film in November.

"KGF: Chapter 2" cinematographer, Bhuvan Gowda, took to Twitter and shared a picture with Dutt, who features in the film as the antagonist, Adheera.

"End of Hyderabad schedule (climax fight) and end of @duttsanjay sir portion for #kgfchapter2. Had an Amazing experience capturing the legend on camera," he wrote.

Production on the movie was affected due to the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown in March. The work on the sequel resumed in August, with actors Prakash Raj and Malavika Avinash joining the team.

"KGF" follows the story of Rocky (Yash) who rises from poverty to become the king of a gold mine.

The sequel also stars Raveena Tandon and Srinidhi Shetty.

New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Monday sought response from Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on a plea challenging his election from the Varuna assembly constituency in the 2023 state elections.

A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice to Siddaramaiah seeking his reply on a plea filed by one K Shankara.

"Issue notice," the bench said.

Shankara has moved the apex court challenging an April 22 order of the Karnataka High Court which dismissed his plea seeking to declare the election of Siddaramaiah from the Varuna assembly constituency as void.

The petitioner alleged that Siddaramaiah had indulged in corrupt practice under the provision of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

The high court had dismissed Shankara's election petition.
