Sudeep sports his signature avatar for a song in Kotigobba 3

Sudeep has begun shooting again for Kotigobba 3, which is now in the last stages of completion. Cinema Express has got hold of a new still from the film, which features the actor in his signature avatar, sporting a cap. The picture is from the latest song, which is currently being filmed in Bengaluru. 

The team is now left with one more song sequence to call it a wrap. Meanwhile, the makers, who are busy with post-production work, plan to start the dubbing process next week. 

The franchise took off from the Vishvuvardhan-starrer Kotigobba. The sequel, Kotigobba 2, was then released in 2016. The story of the upcoming Kotigobba 3 has been penned by Sudeep himself.

The film is directed by Shiva Karthik and produced by Surappa Babu. It has been shot in many foreign locations, including Serbia, Thailand, and Malaysia. 

The action entertainer marks the Kannada debut of a host of actors, including Madonna Sebastian and Aftab Shivadasani. The film also stars Shraddha Das, Ravi Shankar, and Tabla Nani.

Arjun Janya has composed the music and Shekhar Chandru has handled the cinematography.

Even though Kotigobba 2 was a bilingual film made in Kannada and Tamil, the makers are currently going ahead with only the Kannada version this time. Though a release date is yet to be fixed, Kotigobba 3 is expected to be out sometime in the summer.
