Kichcha Sudeep released a motion poster while sharing the announcement with fans. There is a striking resemblance between Sudeep’s look in the movie and Indiana Jones. Vikrant is seen donning a deerstalker hat and is armed with a whip and a revolver in the poster, suggesting that he might be essaying the role of a hunter in the movie.

The production crew commenced filming for the venture shortly after the government announced relaxations in restrictions last year. The multi-crore thriller was predominantly shot in the sets built at Hyderabad’s Annapurna Studios.
The big-budget project is directed by Anup Bhandari, who rose to fame with his directorial debut Rangi Taranga.
By unveiling the title poster and sneak peek of the movie in Dubai’s Burj Khalifa on February 1, Vikrant Rona became the first film to do so. It is also touted to be the first Kannada movie that resumed shooting amidst the coronavirus pandemic. The makers also decided to kickstart promotions for the movie in Dubai to commemorate Sudeep’s 25th work anniversary.
Sharing the video of the launch event of sneak peek and title poster, Sudeep wrote, “Here is a greater quality video of @VikrantRona's sneak peek & Logo launch on @BurjKhalifa.”
