The much awaited multistarrer Mukunda Murari is here and the film turns out to be not just entertaining and fun as promised but also has a deep and profound message for the society. Though it is a serious subject in the undercurrent the story itself has a fun element told in an impassioned but fun style.

The film is about an atheist who files a case against Gods because the insurance company is not paying him insurance because his shop was destroyed in an earthquake. Since the earthquake is not man made but made by God, he cannot get insurance. This impossible case is the crux of the story and Mukunda faces lots of trouble from priests of all religions for his case. Another impossible thing happens as God himself comes to the rescue of Mukunda. 

This plot has lots of fun. Be it situations, incidents or dialogues, there is fun in everything. Apart from that there is a critique of the organised religions and how they have forsaken humanism for the sake of ritualistic religious practices.  But it does not hurt anybody's religious sentiments but only strengthens realistic attitude and love for every human being. Unlike many films which become philosophical and make no sense to the common man, Mukunda Murari is seriously funny while tackling a serious subject. 

It is a role tailor-made for Upendra. And his mannerisms and dialogue delivery makes it so believable. It reminds of Upendra from A,  Upendra and Rakta Kanneru. It is a brilliant performance from him. 

Sudeep is in an extended guest role as Krishna Murari. He looks the part always wearing a smile. This is a role that may well be among those remembered in his entire career as a landmark. Together Upendra and Sudeep make for a deadly combination. 

On the technical front the camera work is awesome. There aren't many songs but those that are are very apt. Thankfully there are no duets or item songs.

Mukunda Murari is one of the best films of the year and a very good story which has a message for the society. It is one of those rare films that will be entertaining for all age groups. Don't dare to miss it.

Chitraloka Rating - 3.5/5

Actors Murali and Sudeep on Tuesday met at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. Both had a casual chat about their upcoming films.

Currently, three Kannada films are being shot at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. Murali's 'Bharaate', Sudeep's 'Phailwan' and Dhruva Sarja's 'Pogaru' is being shot there and during free time, actors Murali and Sudeep met each other.

Murali also met Telugu actor Mahesh Babu who is busy shooting for his forthcoming 'Maharshi' at the Ramoji Film City.

Kichcha Sudeep has announced that he will make a film on Veera Madakari. This comes on the back of the announcement by Rockline Venkatesh that he is making a film with Darshan on the subject. Sudeep has said that he respects Rockline for choosing this subject but it would not stop him from making a film on the same as his team has been working on it for a year and half. Extending his support to the film by Rockline he sought support from fans for his film too. This will be the first time two films on the same personality will be made in Kannada simultaneously. 

Here is what Sudeep has written

It’s true that my team and I, along with a few good writers have been working on a script inspired by the life of Madhakari for about a year and half. The team has done a good amount of research and have been planning to doing this film for long. 

The idea of wanting to make a film on Madhakari struck years back.  It took a bit for us to start work on the script,,,also inspiring me, wanting to direct again. 

Recently it came as a surprise when another film on the same idea was announced. Obviously a vacuum prevailed before a light struck pouring some clarity that “what’s wrong in it,,,nothing” .  Anyone is eligible and anyone can make a film on history. How many times has there not been two teams,unknowingly making a film on similar story and on certain occasions  both have been successful too. 

I don’t become the only one entitled to doing this role. Anyone is eligible to do this and I respect their team for wanting to do this film on our great Karnataka warrior. 

It’s an incredible team lead by Rockline sir. I know his passion towards cinema and well supported by the amazing experience of Rajendra Singh sir . I for sure know they will create magic on screen. 

This need not stop my team and me from doing what we set out for. It’s a dream too that we all want to achieve. I do not want to kill those dreams n hearts,,for, I’m not the only one who has been working for this day&night. I rather do and fail than stop now. After all I’m a Madhakari too :) .

My best wishes and appreciations to Rockline Sir and his team and I respect them for having chosen this wonderful subject. 

Hope my decision is respected too. 

Cheers. 

Kichcha Sudeepa.

Senior director Nagathihalli Chandrashekar is impressed with how actor Sudeep is maturing. He has said that Sudeep's language in Bigg Boss is maturing and becoming more attractive.

Nagathihalli commented, "ಬಿಗ್ ಬಾಸ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸುದೀಪ್ ಭಾಷೆ ಮಾಗುತ್ತ ಪ್ರಬುದ್ಧವೂ ಆಕರ್ಷಕವೂ ಆಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. Especially his Baritone Voice! I like it."

Nagathihalli and Sudeep have worked together once before. Sudeep played a Naxalite in the film Matad Matad Mallige. The director is currently working on his new film, Ishtakamya while Sudeep is busy with multiple films and small screen also. The two have not worked together again after MMM.

Senior director Nagatihalli Chandrashekar has taken a dig at Bigg Boss Kannada Season 4 saying it is boring. He has said that the contestants look tired.

He has suggested host Sudeep to tell the contestants to smile more and it is not nice to look at their sad faces. This is the first time that a Sandalwood senior has openly commented on the Bigg Boss show. The contestants have completed 75 days in the house and it is nearing a climax.

After the success of Ranna director Nanda Kishore has a hattrick of hits. Not surprisingly therefore there are many offers for his next film. He is now planning for the next movie. This week he will be finalising the options and decide for whom he will be directing his next movie.

Already he has committed to direct films for Dhruva Sarja, Radhika Kumaraswamy and Pradeepa.

Speaking to Chitraloka he said bounded scripts are ready with him. "This time I am giving the complete budget list to the producer. Later on they should not blame me. Let me wait and we will know whose project will start first," he said.

After the block buster hits like Manikya and Ranna, Kiccha sure has big thing in store! Sources says Kiccha Sudeep is going to deliver hatrick hit by doing Kotigobba sequel!! Of course this is our new generation Kotigobba Sudeepa. This time we are having a fresh new pair Nithya Menon being played Super star Sudeep's leading lady in the Kotigobba sequel.  High budget movie Kotigobba sequel is being produced by under Soorappa Babu production house.

The film crew already has built luxurious set in Kanteerava studio Bengaluru specially for actor Sudeep's scenes.  Under leading Director K.S.Ravikumar's direction the film has big thing planned.

The shooting is starting in Kanteerava studio with the complete cast and crew from 18th. Sudeep and Nithya Menon will be acting together for the first time.

There is just one week for the grand finale of 'Big Boss 4' and this week there were no eliminations from the house and all the contestants are safe for the next few days.

On Saturday night, Pratham, Keerthi and Shalini were nominated for elimination and Pratham was saved first. Later, there was a tough fight between Keerthi and Shalini and out of the two, Keerthi's name was announced as eliminated. But however, Sudeep announced that there is no elimination this week and instead, out of the six contestants left in the house, one have to be eliminated from the house next week.

As of now Mohan has been nominated for the final round and it has to be seen who among the five will be out of the house next week and which four will go to the final round.

There will be no theatrical trailer for the film Hebbuli. The most anticipated film will therefore be one of those rare films in many years not to have a trailer before release.

The film is releasing in two more days and since the film team was busy giving final touches to the film itself, there was no time to spare for the trailer. The post production involved many graphic works and without it the trailer would not have given the right impression. Therefore the trailer was left out sources said.

Director S Krishna and his Pailwaan team has given Kichcha Sudeep a new title; Baadshah. A brand new poster of the film was released a few minutes ago in which this announcement was made. Krishna has said that he was forced by the fans of Sudeep to release the poster and has promised that there will be much more to come.

The shooting for the film is undergoing in Hyderabad and in between the shooting schedule the poster has been released. The poster also reveals the body transformation of Sudeep for the role in Pailwaan. He has a beefier body which is chiseled to perfection for boxing.

"To all my friends who has stood by me and to all Kichcha lovers, here is just a peep into what my team and I will be offering. Much much more to come and you won't be disappointed," Krishna has said releasing the poster. A teaser of the film is expected to release this month. Within minutes of the release of the poster there were trends for the poster and the new title Baadshah.

The poster has also revealed that Sudeep is sporting a big moustache and beard.

The songs of Sudeep starrer 'Phailwan' was released recently and now the much awaited trailer of the film has been released in all languages simultaneously. The Trailer looks extremely promising and the trailer is gaining lot of appreciation amongnt the viewers.

'Phailwan' stars Sudeep, Akanksha Singh, Kabir Singh Duhan, Chikkanna, Sunil Shetty and others. The film is being produced by Swapna Krishna and written and directed by S Krishna. Karunakar is the cameraman, while Arjun Janya is the music director.

Pailwan will hit theaters on September 12th 2019.

The loss to the makers of Pailwaan due to piracy is estimated at Rs 5 crore so far. Today is the 10th day of the film's release. From the release date of September 12, piracy has affected the film. The film team has lodged multiple complaints and a person has been arrested who leaked the film on the first day.

But pirated versions of the film continue to be circulated online. Everyday hundreds of links are detected and deleted. But it is only a small part of the total leaked content in circulation. A conservative estimate says the pirated copy of the film may have reached nearly 10 lakh people. Those who watched them instead of watching the film in theatre would have resulted in a loss of at least Rs 5 crore to the film makers.

A fight is brewing over Sudeep's participation in election canvassing. It was reported that Sudeep will be canvassing for chief minister Siddaramaiah (Congress) in Mysuru on May 9 and also for his friend Raju Gowda (BJP). Sudeep was to canvass for them on a personal basis and not idealogically for any party. But there is too much demand for him from everyone it seems. The CM is also contesting from Badami where he is locked in a fight with BJP's Sriramulu. 

Reacting to Sudeep's proposed canvassing in Mysuru for Siddaramaiah, he has said that Sudeep is from his community and therefore should support him instead. Sriramulu is also contesting from Molakalmuru in Chitradurga. Reacting to Sriramulu's request to Sudeep to canvass for him the incumbent Molakalmuru MLA Tippeswamy has hit back at Sriramulu. Following the controversy it is to be seen if Sudeep indeed goes for canvassing. 

Chitraloka sources said Sudeep was supposed to go for campaign to Siddaramaiah at Mysore and not at Badami. But after this incident he may not go there. Sudeep will however be going to campaign for his friend Raju Gowda.

Director Prem who has finished many schedules of his latest film 'The Villain' is busy finalizing the songs along with the film's music composer Arjun Janya. Prem himself has tweeted that he is busy finalizing the songs of the film and teaser will be released soon.

'The Villain' is being directed by Prem after a six year gap. His last film as a director was Shivarajakumar's 100th film 'Jogaiah'. 'The Villain' stars Shivarajakumar, Sudeep, Shruthi Hariharan, Srikanth, Mithun Chakraborty and others. 

The film is being produced by C R Manohar and Arjun Janya is the music composer. The shooting for the film has already been held in Bangalore, Shimoga, Bangkok, London and other places.

In spite of 'The Villain' not living upto expectations, there was a news that Sudeep and Prem might do another film. The two had become the best of buddies during the making of the film and both had expressed to work again in the future.

Now Prem has announced that he will be directing another film for Sudeep and this announcement has come on Sudeep's birthday on Wednesday. Prem has tweeted regarding this and said that Sudeep will be seen in a never before seen avatar in the new film.

'Everyone has been asking me about my next project and when I will work with my Darling Sudeep again. So, today on his birthday, announcing my next venture with Sudeep in a never before seen avatar. Once again Happy Birthday' tweeted Prem.

The first teaser of Puneeth Rajkumar starrer 'Yuvaratna' was released on Monday evening and actor Sudeep is in full awe with the teaser. Sudeep has said that Puneeth looks 10 years younger and the visuals are amazingly captured.
