After so much wait, Kiccha Sudeep has now made an official announcement regarding his nephew Sanchith Sanjeev’s upcoming directorial and acting debut. On Thursday, Sudeep tweeted about the film’s auspicious muhurtha (inauguration) which is set to take place on Friday, June 15. The project is being financed by KP Sreekanth, G Manohar (Lahari Films) and Sudeep’s newly established production company, Supriyanvi, led by his wife, Priya Sudeep.
In 2018, Sanchith took his initial steps in the film industry by co-directing the movie Ambi Ning Vayassaytho alongside Gurudath Ganiga. During that time, he expressed his intention to make an acting debut and shared his plan to act in a few films before focusing on his true passion, which is filmmaking. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, those plans were disrupted but now he is prepared to commence his debut film project.
“During recent years, numerous script narrations and discussions took place. However, the pandemic brought about a significant shift in how stories and their narratives should be approached, considering the changing content consumption patterns of audiences. It became evident that traditional stories would no longer be as captivating. The focus shifted towards seeking truly innovative and content-driven concepts, with the understanding that merely ticking the boxes of conventional commercial films and connecting the dots would not suffice,” Sanchith said in an interview.
“Deepu mama (Sudeep) reached a point where he proposed revisiting a subject that they had previously experimented with as a short film many years ago. This story had remained in his mind, and over time, he had further developed it into a script, albeit mentally. In a brief five-minute conversation, he expressed their clarity on the desired direction and suggested that Sanchith should take on the role of the director. Sudeep then narrated the entire story, including specific scenes and infused it with a distinct flavour. Sanchith took this input and transformed it into a comprehensive script, collaborating with a couple of writers for the task. This is how Sanchith’s debut film came into being,” Sanchith added.
Sanchith’s introduction to the film industry through the launch announcement has garnered a great deal of affection from Sudeep’s fans, who warmly welcomed him to the Kannada film industry. However, alongside this positive response, there has also been some trolling and disapproval. This is primarily due to the team referring to Sanchith as “Kichcha Jr.” while announcing his debut.
