Recent work
Refreshing change for the actor
Sudeep was last seen in Mark, an action drama that brought him back together with director Vijay Karthikeyaa after their successful collaboration on Max (2024). The upcoming romcom will be a refreshing change for the actor, who has made a name for himself in action dramas.
Role selection
'Has to excite me'
In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Sudeep shared his thoughts on what attracts him to a role after nearly three decades in the industry. He said, "I will definitely not say yes to a film because something similar has worked in the market." "For me, it has to excite me. It should be something I haven't done so far, and even if it is something I've done before, it should have a newer plot."
Industry insights
On the growing focus on Kannada cinema
Sudeep also spoke about the growing focus on Kannada cinema and its evolution over the years. He said, "There will always be fluctuations, and nothing is a good time or a bad time." "Your job is to keep doing something persistently well. But for an industry to do well, it needs collective efforts, but done differently."
