Kiccha Sudeep responds to producer MN Kumar's allegations with a cryptic post

Kiccha Sudeep continues to be in the news for varied reasons, but the most recent one does not seem to be all that flattering. The actor has been pulled by Kannada film producer MN Kumar for allegedly deserting and evading him, despite receiving remuneration for a film.

In the press meet organized on July 3, MN Kumar accused Sudeep of not fulfilling the commitment to work on a film together. The former also stated that he has paid the entire agreed-upon amount to the actor in cash but to no avail, since the Vikrant Rona actor, he alleges further, has failed to respond properly to his many requests. MN Kumar added that he has written as many as six letters to Sudeep through the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce since December 2022 but only one of them has been replied to. 

It also came to light that Sudeep chose to not be part of the same press meet despite being urged by the KFCC to personally address the matter.

The 51-year-old actor, however, has instead opted to share his two cents on the issue via social media and has posted a cryptic quote. 

"Let it be known: my goodness is not a tool for manipulation or misuse. It shines brightest when genuine, and I won't let arrogance taint its radiance. Stay humble, stay true," wrote Sudeep in his tweet.

Could he be referring to the accusations made against him? In all likelihood, yes. But while his well-wishers and admirers (including industry insiders) voice their support for him, one wishes to see him address the allegations in a more forthright manner - it would be interesting to see how the issue unfolds after all.

In his emotional speech, MN Kumar would also highlight that Kiccha Sudeep was meant to do his film after Pailwaan and Kotigobba 3 but was later told to wait until the completion of Vikrant Rona. The issue was then aggravated even more when Sudeep announced Kiccha 46, a new film with Tamil producer Kalaippuli S. Thanu.

MN Kumar also said that he was asked by Sudeep to bring Nanda Kishore on board at one point and he, too, was paid an advance amount. Despite all the efforts, he added, things failed to fall into place.
