Actor Sudeep’s fans are in for some delightful news. The release dates of his upcoming films have been revealed! Sudeep’s Phailwan, which has been in the making for a long time, will hit the marquee on August 8, confirm sources. Produced and directed by S Krishna, this film marks the actor and director’s second collaboration after the massive success of Hebbuli. Incidentally, Krishna will be making his debut as a producer with Phailwan by bankrolling it under his banner RRR Productions.
Sudeep plays a boxer and wrestler in this flick, and being his first ever sports drama, he underwent rigorous training to learn the nuances of the martial arts. The actor flew down to Thailand where he trained under the guidance of some experts. Arjun Janya has been roped in to compose the tunes for Phailwan while Karunakar will be cranking the camera.
Sudeep’s other Kannada film to release this year will be Kotigobba 3. This film is scheduled to hit the silver screens on November 1, which is celebrated as Rajayotsava Day in Karnataka. While Sudeep himself has penned the story, it is being directed by debutant Shiva Karthik. Arjun Janya is composing the music for this venture while Shekar Chandru is handling the camera. Madonna Sebastian is playing the lead opposite Sudeep in this flick with Bollywood actor Aftab Shivdasani in an important role.
While these two Kannada movies starring the actor are in the pipeline for release, the Telugu movie Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is also getting ready to hit the marquee. This magnum opus stars Tollywood mega star Chiranjeevi in the title role while Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan will be seen in a cameo.
Sudeep has also inked a deal to star in the Hindi movie Dabangg 3 starring Salman Khan in the lead, and reportedly joined the sets on May 4.
