Buzz is that Sudeep will play the male lead in the movie Kotigobba 2. The movie is a sequel of Kotigobba which starred late Vishnuvardhan in its lead role. Sources state that the movie will commence its shoot in the last quarter of this year.

The sequel will be directed by Suresh Krishna and it will be produced by Soorappa Babu.

Producer Soorappa Babu said that he would have been happy to cast Vishnuvardhan in the sequel had he been alive. But he said that he was happy that Sudeep was doing the role as he considered him to be the next Vishnuvardhan.

The movie Kotigobba was a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Basha. Basha starred Rajnikanth and Nagma in the lead roles.
