The film eventually gained national wide [[cult following]] for its action sequences, [[Hero|heroic elevations]], dialogues, direction and [[K.G.F_(film_series)#Cast_and_Crew|characterisation of Rocky]]. The success of ''[[K.G.F_(film_series)|K.G.F franchise]]'' has established Yash as a pan-Indian actor and brought huge super-stardom across nation and also brought huge recognition for Neel as a writer and director and established him as one of the biggest directors in Indian cinema.

After detailing the events in ''[[K.G.F: Chapter 1#Plot|K.G.F: Chapter 1]]'', Anand Ingalagi suffers a [[stroke]] and his son, Vijayendra Ingalagi takes over to narrate the rest of the story. Rocky kills heir apparent Virat and takes over the [[Kolar Gold Fields|K.G.F]], keeping Reena hostage to ensure the cooperation of Guru Pandian, Andrews, Kamal and Rajendra Desai. But when Rocky shows his arrogance and lustfully behave towards Reena, Kamal got enraged and protests against Rocky, which angered Rocky and kill Kamal on the spot. After this, Rocky issues orders to start work in eight hidden mines, while Vanaram, who was captured by Rocky, decided to help him.

In the ensuing clash, Rocky's army kill Andrews and Daya, while Rocky kills John and chokes Adheera to death. Rocky and his henchmen disrupt Sen's speech at the [[Parliament of India|Parliament]] and kill Pandian (who had staged the attack on Garuda for which Adheera was framed, and informed Adheera of Garuda's attack priorly. He was also the one who showed Adheera the secret passage, goaded Andrews into hiring Rocky, staged the no-confidence motion in Delhi, and persuaded Shetty to join forces with Khalil just to gain Rocky's trust).  

In the [[mid-credits scene]] between credits, it is shown that three months before Rocky's death, John Booker, a [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] agent hands over a file consisting of Rocky's crimes in the [[United States|USA]] and 16 other countries between 1978 to 1981, to Ramika Sen.
