It’s going to be a very busy December and January for Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep. First up, he’s got his Christmas release Mark to promote and then, in only 3 weeks from then, he will present a new hero in Sandalwood. Sudeep’s nephew Sanchith Sanjeev is making his acting debut with Mango Pachcha, produced by a new banner helmed by Sudeep’s wife Priya, which has now got a release date. On November 16, the team of Mango Pachcha announced that Sanchith will be on the big screen on January 15, 2026, giving audiences Sankrantige ondu Kannada cinema.
Mango Pachcha to get a solo release
Mango Pachcha is, as of now, looking at a solo release, as far as the Kannada market is considered, given that no other film has announced a January release and that Sankranti is generally a festival that is open season for movies from other industries. Only a week prior to the release of Mango Pachcha is Tamil superstar Vijay’s last film, Jana Nayagan, as is Prabhas’ The Raja Saab and if either or both of these movies do well, then Sanchith’s film will have trouble as far as getting prime shows and screens goes.
Nevertheless, the young actor is assured of a good opening, what with Sudeep fans eagerly awaiting the film to see what Kiccha Jr brings to the table. An earlier teaser had hinted at Sanchith channelling major Sudeep vibes, be it the way he talks, walks or even smokes. Directed by debutant Viveka, Mango Pachcha is a gangster drama set in Mysuru of the 90s.
