but to prevent him, Virat smothered Suryavardhan to death. Concerned about the recent occurrences, Garuda orchestrated a ritual for Kali to be preponed and thought of getting rid of the associates as soon as the ritual ends as he had vowed earlier. Rocky, through a tunnel unsuspected, headed to the place where three men were held captives as Garuda intended to use them for human sacrifice to Kali. Holding back one of them, Rocky disguised himself as the one and went with the other two men to the site of ritual, undetected. Later, Rocky emerged out of his disguise and beheaded Garuda, killing him much to everyone's shock. Ingalagi, presently, concludes that Rocky intentionally chose not to assassinate Garuda in the party office as he desired for K.G.F and amassed an army for himself by freeing the slaves to seize control over Vanaram's army who would subsequently attack him after Garuda's death and take over K.G.F. Ingalagi indicates that it was just a beginning. In a flashback, the news of Garuda's assassination approached Ramika Sen, a fierce politician. Adheera, who was disclosed to be alive planned to resurface while the associates were delighted, intending to take over K.G.F. The film ends with Vanaram commanding the army to kill Rocky after he beheaded Garuda but the slaves were ready to resist.

The film's director, Prashanth Neel, stated that the film would be launched in April 2016, and the shooting would begin in May 2016.
