Kichcha Sudeep’s Kotigobba 3 to release in Telugu…finally!

Kannada star Kichcha Sudeep, who’s awaiting the release of his multilingual film Vikrant Rona next, will have another release in Telugu before that. Yes, you heard it right! Kotigobba 3, the action thriller starring Sudeep, Madonna Sebastian and Shraddha Das, is finally having a Telugu release after a flurry of postponements.

Titled K3 Kotikokkadu, the film hits theatres on June 17. Shreyas Srinivas and Devendra DK of Good Cinema Group have jointly acquired the Telugu rights. The film, that grossed over Rs 60 crore in Kannada, is one of the most successful projects in Sudeep’s career. The prequel to the film, directed by K S Ravikumar, also had a Telugu release.

Kotigobba 3’s Telugu version is expected to have a big release, given no other major film has confirmed its arrival on June 17 yet. The film’s trailer was launched many months ago and the makers are happy with the response for the first single. Three other songs from the film will be launched shortly. “We’re confident that the film will be as successful in Telugu too,” the producers said.

The film’s promotional campaign will kickstart shortly. K3 Kotikokkadu has come in the place of Ravi Teja’s Rama Rao on Duty on June 17, which was postponed recently. Ravi Shankar too plays a key role in the film that has music by Arjun Janya. S Rajesh Varma has written the Telugu dialogues and Praveen Antony is the editor.
