Kichcha Sudeep announces action thriller 'K47'; aims for Christmas 2025 release: "It may seem like a stretch, but we're committed"
Picture Credit: Facebook Kannada star Kichcha Sudeep has officially pulled the curtain back on his 47th film, tentatively titled 'K47'. The high-octane action thriller will be directed by 'Max' fame Vijay Kartikeyan. Sudeep who is working on another film 'Billa Ranga Baasha' recently shared about the upcoming film. As per a Cinema Express report, their goal is to release 'K47' by Christmas. Sudeep is already occupied with the shooting of his massive fantasy epic 'Billa Ranga Baasha,' directed by Anup Bhandari. Speaking about juggling both films, Sudeep shared, "Billa Ranga Baasha is a grand film with massive sets and elaborate world-building, it needs time. But in the meantime, I wanted to deliver a film this year, and 'K47' is designed to be a quick, solid action entertainer. The goal is to release it by Christmas. It may seem like a stretch, but we're committed." K47 - Motion Poster | Kichcha Sudeepa | Vijay Kartikeyaa | Sathya Jyothi Films & Kichcha Creatiions While many speculated that 'K47' would be a sequel to 'Max', Sudeep clarified that the upcoming film is a standalone project with a fresh storyline. "Yes, when a film like 'Max' works, the temptation to build a franchise is real. But 'K47' is something new altogether—new character, new tone. It's not Max 2. We didn't want to force that connection just for branding." There were also rumours about filmmaker Cheran being attached to the project at some stage. Sudeep acknowledged the collaboration in its early stages but mentioned that it didn't progress. The music for 'K47' will be composed by Ajaneesh Loknath. He also spoke about the criticism associated with him, mostly for working with non-Kannada banners. Sudeep responded with honesty, "It's not about where the banner is from. Whoever comes with a good story, I'll join hands. If big Kannada banners have stories, I'm always ready."
