The sequence was reportedly choreographed by stunt director duo Anbumani and Arivumani, popularly known as Anbariv.
The movie also features Achyuth Kumar, Prakash Raj, Anant Nag and Vasishta N Simha, among others, in prominent roles. For the sequel, reports emerged that Prakash Raj was brought in as a replacement for veteran actor Anant Nag, who played the key character of the narrator in the first part of KGF.
