After the massive success of Hindi dubbing of Telugu and Tamil films like RRR, Pushpa: The Rise - Part One and Rajinikanth's 2.0, Kannada cinema is eyeing the North Indian market as well. Although the action drama KGF: Chapter 2 is one of the highest-grossing films of all time, earning Rs. 434.70 crore upon its release this April, two other relatively smaller films- 777 Charlie and Vikrant Rona have also scored impressive numbers in Hindi recently.
