Sudeep cycling his way to the sets of 'Kotigobba 3' was a big news a few days back. Now there is one more news from 'Kotigobba 3' and this time, Bollywood actor Aftab who plays a prominent role in the film has completed his portions.

Aftab who is in Bangalore for the shooting has tweeted that his job is done with 'Kotigobba 3'. 'Another journey for me comes to an end. Had an amazing time working with the brilliant cast and crew of 'Kotigobba 3'. See you in the theaters in 2020. Thank you my brother Sudeep, You're always such an inspiration' tweeted Sudeep.

'Kotigobba 3' is being produced by Soorappa Babu and directed by Shiva Karthik. Shekhar Chandru is the cameraman, while Arjuna Janya is the music director. 

Recently, actor Sunil Shetty had agreed to be a part of Sudeep's 'Phailwan' and will be joining the second schedule of the film in July. Meanwhile, Aftab Shivadasani will be making his entry to Kannada with Sudeep's other film 'Kotigobba 3'.

Yes, Bollywood actor Aftab Shivadasani will be making his foray into Kannada films through 'Kotigobba 3'.  The actor will be playing a role of Interpol officer in this film.

'Kotigobba 3' stars Sudeep, Monica Sebastian, Ravishankar, Rangayana Raghu and others in prominent roles. Shekhar Chandru is the cameraman, while Arjuna Janya is the music director. The film is being produced by Soorappa Babu and directed by Shiva Karthik. The first schedule of the film will be shot in Serbia.

Just after acquiring the audio rights of Shivarajakumar-Sudeep starrer 'The Villain' for 1.08 crores, Anand Audio has also bagged the audio rights of Sudeep's another film 'Kotigobba 3'.

One of the highlights is, the audio rights have been bagged even before the launch of the film. 'Kotigobba 3' will be launched on the 03rd of March and even before the date, the audio rights have been bagged by Anand Audio.

Anand Audio has confirmed that they have acquired the rights of the film through twitter account. 'We hereby confirm audio rights of 'Kotigobba 3' for record price even b4 movie launch' says a message in Anand Audio's account, but has not mentioned what the record price is.

Sudeep has clarified that his next two films in Kannada will start simultaneously. His film with Krishna was confirmed earlier and the director is in Hyderabad scripting it. Now with Kotigobba 3 with Soorappa Babu also confirmed there was confusion on which will start earlier . Sudeep has said that the film with Krishna will start in October and simultaneously the film with Soorappa Babu will also be made. Meanwhile he is also acting in a Hollywood film named Risin. 

Kotigobba 2 was directed by KS Ravikumar. The director of K3 is however not confirmed. It is not known if Ravikumar will return to helm the film or a new director will arrive. K2 was also made in Tamil as Mudinja Ivana Pudi. But it is not confirmed if K3 will have a Tamil version.

The story idea for Kotigobba 3 was given by none other than Sudeep. The Soorappa Babu film will start alongside Phailwan directed by Krishna after Sudeep completes shooting for The Villain. According to sources the idea for the basic story was Sudeep's.

It was developed into a full fledged story by the director. A new director is making his debut with Kotigobba 3. Producer Babu has not revealed the identity of the new director till now. Sudeep starred in Kotigobba 2 directed by KS Ravikumar who had also written the story for it. The original Kotigobba starring Vishnuvardhan was directed by Naganna and was an official remake of the Tamil film Baasha which was based on the Hindi film Hum. 

Clearing the air over the deletion of Kotigobba 3 official teaser from YouTube, producer Soorappa Babu has said that due to technical reasons the teaser was deleted, to which Anand Audio has taken up the case with the YouTube and the teaser will be uploaded shortly.

"The trouble started after the shooting in Poland with two brothers Sanjay Pal and Ajai Pal whose services we had hired for shooting in Poland. We faced a lot of problems including a couple of technicians who were not allowed to return from abroad. I got them back through the intervention of our Indian Government," said Soorappa Babu.

He further adds that he was deeply hurt following various baseless reports being telecasted and published through various mediums. "YouTube runs on its own mechanism through electronically and once somebody claims (even falsely) the rights of a content, the concerned video is taken off until it is communicated back with proofs. Since it was uploaded through Anand Audio channel, Mr Shyam has taken up the case with YouTube and it will be uploaded back at the earliest," he clarified.

That apart, all other reports are baseless, as the background score works will resume soon at the earliest in two days time after Arjun Janya fully recovers. "There is no 'pink problem' either nor any kind of misunderstanding with anyone. In fact, we are so confident of Kotigobba 3's success that we are already planning the story for Kotigobba 4! I must thank Kichcha Sudeepa for his great support. We are planning for the release in April," he adds.

Sudeep starrer 'Kotigobba 3' is ready and waiting for a release. Meanwhile, a song which was released on Sunday has garnered more than 2.5 million hits in just 20 hours and created a record of sorts.

A peppy number called by 'Pataaki Poriyo' written by Anup Bhandari and sung by Vijayprakash and Anuradha Bhatt was released on Sunday morning in the Anand Audio channel of You tube. Within a span of 20 hours, the song has got 25 lakhs hits and is marching ahead.

Certificate: U/A 

Stars: 3.5/5

Cast: Sudeep, P Ravishankar, Madonna Sebastian, Aftab Shivdasani, Nawab Shah, Shrada Das 

Director: Shiva Karthik 

Entertainer to the core/

A perfect Dasara gift for the Kannada audience

Kotigobba 3 takes off from the high where Kotigobba 2 ended and zooms into another level of entertainment. The showcase is bigger, the fights and stunts grander, the songs more lavish and the overall canvas of the film literally stretches from Bengaluru to Poland. Sudeep encompasses this canvas end to end. And it is a treat par excellence for fans. 

Kotigobba 2 ended with the fictitious Shiva dying and Sathya trapping the corrupt police ACP for the death. However the confusion over whether there is just one person impersonating another continues in K3. An Interpol team following a huge heist believes Sathya is actually a person who calls himself Ghost. 

There begins a cat and mouse game of chases, intrigue, confusion and entertaining commercial masala plot churning. Sudeep hogs the limelight with various getups, not just as Sathya and the Ghost but also in a couple of other ones. One in which he dons an old man's role is surprisingly good. 

A hero's commercial outing apart, K3 has more in terms of a plot. Our hero has a motive for going international and it has a very local and personal connection too. That is a surprising and dramatic bit in the second half. 

In between there are comic situations galore that keep the entertainment quotient always high. P Ravishankar, Ravishankar Gowda, Tabala Nani churn out one special scene after the other. 

There is special place for music in the film with chart buster songs that are placed and paced well. Pataki Poriyo early on is a brilliant dance number. The cinematography makes the film feel like an international project. The scenes at the foreign location gives K3 the feel of a lavish Hollywood action film. Every scene in the film is made on a lavish scale and you can actually see the crores of Rupees in each of them. 

K3 is what a commercial film on a very big budget looks like. It has the story, charm, entertainment, drama and sentiments to cater to everyone. It is a perfect Dasara gift for the Kannada audience.

Sudeep's new film 'Kotigobba 3' which is being produced by Soorappa Babu and directed by Shiva Karthik is all set to start from the 16th of June. Meanwhile, Malayalam actress Monica Sebastian has been roped in as the heroine for the film.

'Kotigobba 3' stars Sudeep, Monica Sebastian, Ravishankar, Rangayana Raghu and others in prominent roles. Shekhar Chandru is the cameraman, while Arjuna Janya is the music director.
