So what’s Manjunath Gowda up to after Ambi Ning Vayassaytho, which was made in association with Kiccha Creations? The producer is said to be getting ready for a project with Sudeep, who has been his good friend for 36 years, and this piece of information was revealed by the actor himself during an interaction with a TV channel.

“The initial details about this project are that it will bring together Sudeep and Manjunath, and the film will be directed by Anup Bhandari,” a source tells us, clarifying that it will not be Billa Ranga Baashaa, but another subject.

The director has already narrated the story to the actor and got the green signal. “Sudeep had initially announced Billa Ranga Baashaa under his home banner, but it has been tentatively pushed further. Instead, Anup has come up with another interesting subject for the actor,” our source adds.

This yet-to-be-titled film will be Sudeep's next Kannada project and it will take off after Kotigobba 3.

At present, Sudeep is waiting for the release of director S Krishna’s Pailwaan. The actor is also working in films in other languages: He will be seen in the Telugu film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, starring Chiranjeevi in the lead role, and will also be seen in the Salman Khan-starrer, Dabangg 3, directed by Prabhudheva.
