Directed by Anup Bhandari, the makers of the film recently announced that the film will now be called Vikrant Rona from the initially-announced title Phantom. Sudeep plays the titular role. This will be Anup Bhandari's first collaboration with Sudeep, and also stars Nirup Bhandari as Sanjeev Gambir and Neetha Ashok as Aparna Ballal aka Panna. Bankrolled by Shalini Arts and co-produced by Alankar Pandian, Vikram Rona has music by Ajaneesh B Loknath, while DOP William David is the cameraman. The two are coming together for the first time for a Sudeep-starrer.
Sudeep is also a part of Upendra starrer Kabzaa, directed by R Chandru. The actor also has his long-pending film Kotigobba 3 waiting for release, directed by Shiva Karthik. The film was wrapped up in March last year but its release was postponed due to the pandemic and the ensuing lockdown.
