The story will be told through two movies, the first chapter of which is KGF.

Well, this is where the story gets really really interesting. The biggest movie of the year, Zero, is also releasing on December 21. The movie stars Farhan Akhtar's good friend Shah Rukh Khan as the main lead. Earlier, upon Shah Rukh's request, Riteish Deshmukh had pulled his Marathi film, Mauli, from its December 21 release. In response, SRK has tweeted, while addressing Riteish as his little brother, "I am so happy to have ‘asked’ something of a friend who kept my self-respect higher than his own need."
We wonder if Shah Rukh Khan made the same request to the makers and distributors of KGF Chapter 1. Well, even the request was made, we know what Farhan and Riteish's decision was on the matter. Which movie are you going to watch on December 21 - Zero or KGF?
