KGF, starring Yash in the lead, redefined Kannada cinema in a lot of ways. The film which released last year ended with a cliff hanger teasing a sequel.

The production house revealed the poster on their official Twitter handle. 

The makers of the film had kept details of three characters under wraps, which was to be revealed in KGF Chapter 2. The plan was, apparently, to introduce Adheera on the occasion of Sanjay Dutt's birthday today.
