Kotigobba 3 trailer release: Kiccha Sudeep is back to give the bad guys a taste of their own medicine

Kiccha Sudeep fans, in anxious anticipation to see the return of their favourite ‘ghost’, were in for a treat. As promised, the makers of Kotigobba 3 have dropped the trailer for the upcoming thriller, packed to the brim with high octane action.

The trailer opens with news about how four blasts in different parts of the world had led to the deaths of almost 40 criminals, seemingly the work of a mysterious figure known only as a ‘ghost’. The anti-hero rhetoric found in the prequel is echoed when the question is asked ‘is he a hero or a villain’. The rest of the trailer reveals that viewers are in store of a thrilling manhunt as the race to trace the mastermind is on.

But an even bigger threat seems to be looming as a man who calls himself ‘the merchant of death’ seems to have some sinister plans for the public.

Sudeep is all charisma, whether it's as the cheeky romantic or as the gun-slinging fist-fighter. The trailer signals an action-heavy, complete with high stakes chases and fisticuffs, as well as light-hearted moments of endearment.

Viewers also catch a glimpse of a cuffed P. Ravi Shankar, conveying the continuance of what had happened to his character in the previous film.

In addition to Sudeep and Shankar reprising their roles, Kotigobba 3 also stars Madonna Sebastian, Shraddha Das, Aftab Shivdasani, Abhirami, Nawab Shah and Danish Akhtar Saifi. The prequel to the 2016 film Kotigobba 2 will feature the debut of Sebastian in the Kannada cinema.

The film is directed by Shiva Karthik and has Arjun Janya as the composer for its soundtrack.

Kotigobba 3 is scheduled to be released on October 14.
