Director S Krishna wants to do a sequel to Pailwaan. Even in the film, the last scene in the end credit shows that the story will continue. However, Sudeep has steadfastly said that he does not want to do a similar film let alone a sequel to Pailwaan.

In several interviews after the film's release, Sudeep said that getting back to the routine of gyms and physical straining was too much for him. That was the only reason he gave for not doing another such film. However this did not stop Krishna from writing a story for the sequel and narrating it to Sudeep. Sudeep was impressed with the story and said he liked it. But the condition he imposed on it has shocked Krishna.

Sudeep has informed Krishna that he would do Pailwaan 2 if he was offered the role of the coach and not that of the boxer or wrestler. A thoroughly confused Krishna is still awaiting to somehow convince Sudeep.

For the first time ever there were houseful shows for a Kannada film in Canada. There were two weekend shows and for both, the tickets were sold out much earlier. A few Kannada films have been released in Canada before along with the US.

But this is the first time that the response has been so good. This may lead to more Kannada films being released simultaneously in Canada the same time they are released locally in Karnataka. The film, the first big multistarrer in years, has lived up to its expectation as the most awaited Kannada film of the year.

The combination of Shivarajkumar and Sudeep and director Prem has worked wonders at the box office. At home in Karnataka, the film is turning out to be the highest grossing film of all time in its first week.

Despite temporary hike in ticket price for the most expected star-studded movie of the year 'The Villain’, the Kannada movie lovers have responded to it with a thumbs up. Almost every show for the next one week is booked in advance to witness the magical combination of Shivanna and Kiccha Sudeep on the big screen. 

In a first of its kind for the Kannada audience, the producer Dr. C R Manohar and all its distributors had earlier urged the fans to cooperate with the temporary hike in ticket price which seems to have worked for them positively.

The movie goers who queued up to lay hands on the tickets for 'The Villain’ where invited by the humble appeal put up on every multiplexes across the state, which reads : ‘In view of the fact that 'The Villain’ is a high budget movie, the ticket rates for multiplexes are enhanced for four days considering the well being of the producer.

The Villain in its fourth week is still running in several single screens across Karnataka. The film is running in 35 single screens in the BKT area. The shows of another Kannada film Victory 2 has also increased in some multiplexes due to the same reason.
