With a number of films lined up across languages, Sudeep seems to be working without a break. As far as his Kannada projects are concerned, the star has confirmed that after The Villain, he will work on Phailwan and Kotigobba 3. 

While Sudeep is busy preparing for Krishna’s directorial, producer Surappa Babu has readied everything for Kotigobba 3, which will be launched on March 2.

“It is said to be an auspicious day, so we decided to go ahead with the puja before we start work on the film. We will start with a song recording,” says the producer.

Surappa Babu also produced Kotigobba 2, which was a Kannada-Tamil bilingual directed by KS Ravi Kumar.

Kotigobba 3 is to be directed by newcomer Shiva Karthik, who is currently in Bengaluru readying the script. “Right now, I can’t reveal too many details. All I can say is it will be a wholesome mass-entertainer and a treat for Sudeep fans. The film will have a big star cast, which is being finalised. 50 per cent of the shoot will be done in European countries,” says Surappa Babu.

The film will have music by Arjun Janya and cinematography by Shekar Chandru.
