Kannada star Upendra’s Kabzaa is one of the most anticipated movies in Sandalwood this year. On Sunday, June 27, the makers of the movie unveiled a motion poster, which features Upendra with Kichcha Sudeep, another popular Kannada star. The duo are seen striking a retro look in the motion poster of the period drama. Sharing the poster with fans, the film’s director R Chandru wrote, “India’s most expected pan Indian ‘Kabzaa’ movie exclusive “combo motion poster”.
Touted to be a gangster drama set in the period between 1940-1980, Kabzaa is likely to release in seven languages including Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali and Oriya. The film is presented by MTB Nagaraj and bankrolled by filmmaker R Chandru under his home banner Sri Siddheshwara Enterprises. Prior to Kabzaa, Upendra and Sudeep had teamed up for the 2016 film Mukunda Murari.
