The sequel continues his journey and the stakes are higher with his opponents including the Prime Minister of India. ## The end credit scene of "K.G.F: Chapter 2" gives a hint about Chapter 3. While many are wondering what can be the story of Chapter 3 and possibly the final movie in the highly successful franchise, Yash has opened up about the movie and said that there are a lot of things which were couldn't be shown in the KGF 2. ## "Already we have thought of a lot of scenes, me and Prashanth. There are a lot of things which we couldn't do in 'Chapter 2'. So we know there are a lot of possibilities, a lot of kick-ass scenes are there. But it's just an idea. And we've just left it there right now", Yash said during an interview with Variety.## Director Prashanth Neel has deliberately skipped four years in Chapter 2, during which, Rocky Bhai did many crimes in many countries including the USA, as shown in the movie in the last scene. So it is possible that they set the story of Chapter 3 during those four years and capture Rocky's crime in those countries. ## Stay tuned...
