Raveena also shared her experience of portraying such a role and working with Sanjay Dutt and Yash in the movie. She added, “After my debut on OTT with ‘Aranyak’, which got lots of love and critical acclaim for #kasturidogra, working for KGF Chapter 2 was a pleasure. The role is different and it has shades of grey. It feels amazing to work with Sanju. We share a superb equation. @thenameisyash is really sweet and a gem of a person. He is super talented and a meticulous actor. I had a blast working with him. It feels really good when your hard work is appreciated and recognised, this motivates you to do more and better work.”

Further extending the celebrations, Sanjay Dutt also shared a video and wrote a long message. The note read, “Working on #KGFChapter2 has been an incredible experience for me. As some of you may know, I have had my share of personal challenges, and at times it seemed like the road ahead was too difficult to navigate. However, being on the set of KGF Chapter 2 and seeing the passion and dedication of everyone involved in the project inspired me to overcome my challenges and emerge stronger and better. From the moment I stepped on the set, I was welcomed with open arms by the talented cast and crew who worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life. @thenameisyash is now a brother to me, and our director #PrashanthNeel is an incredible talent who I’m sure will go on to do great things.”
