Kichcha Sudeep announces action thriller 'K47'; aims for Christmas 2025 release: "It may seem like a stretch, but we're committed"
Picture Credit: Facebook Kannada star Kichcha Sudeep has officially pulled the curtain back on his 47th film, tentatively titled 'K47'. The high-octane action thriller will be directed by 'Max' fame Vijay Kartikeyan. Sudeep who is working on another film 'Billa Ranga Baasha' recently shared about the upcoming film. As per a Cinema Express report, their goal is to release 'K47' by Christmas. Sudeep is already occupied with the shooting of his massive fantasy epic 'Billa Ranga Baasha,' directed by Anup Bhandari. Speaking about juggling both films, Sudeep shared, "Billa Ranga Baasha is a grand film with massive sets and elaborate world-building, it needs time. But in the meantime, I wanted to deliver a film this year, and 'K47' is designed to be a quick, solid action entertainer. The goal is to release it by Christmas. It may seem like a stretch, but we're committed."

"Yes, when a film like 'Max' works, the temptation to build a franchise is real. But 'K47' is something new altogether—new character, new tone. It's not Max 2. We didn't want to force that connection just for branding." There were also rumours about filmmaker Cheran being attached to the project at some stage. Sudeep acknowledged the collaboration in its early stages but mentioned that it didn't progress. The music for 'K47' will be composed by Ajaneesh Loknath. He also spoke about the criticism associated with him, mostly for working with non-Kannada banners. Sudeep responded with honesty, "It's not about where the banner is from. Whoever comes with a good story, I'll join hands. If big Kannada banners have stories, I'm always ready."

‘Kichcha 47': Sudeep teams up again with Vijay Kartikeyaa after ‘Max'
Kannada superstar Sudeep has collaborated with Vijay Kartikeyaa for an action thriller. The actor-director duo first teamed up for the action drama Max in 2024. Tentatively titled Kichcha 47, the upcoming movie will be produced by Sathya Jyothi films, and presented by T G Thyagarajan. The makers released a teaser to announce the project. In the video, Sudeep appears in a stylish avatar, smoking a cigarette. The movie will go on floors from July 07, 2025. During a press conference to talk about the movie, Sudeep confirmed that Kichcha 47 isn't a sequel to Max. 'It's not Max 2. I thought we were forcing the idea of a sequel and that's not good. This will be a completely different movie. We have put the idea of Max 2 on the backburner.' Ajaneesh Loknath will compose music for the movie. J Shivakumar is the art director while Sekhar Chandra has been roped in as the cinematographer. Kichcha 47 will be produced by Senthil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan. Vijay Kartikeyaa debuted with the blockbuster Max. Released on December 25, 2025, the film revolved around inspector Arjun Mahakshay (played by Sudeep). A day before reporting for duty after a two-month suspension, he faces an unexpected situation to handle. ALSO READ:'Bigg Boss Kannada': Sudeep retracts decision, back as host for Season 12 The Hindu review of the film said, 'Max is a celebration of Sudeep, who oozes style in his aggressive portrayal of an all-conquering officer. If you saw him as a subdued yet classy cop carrying a deep pain within him in Vikrant Rona (2022), Sudeep cuts loose in Max to cater to his fans, who were hungry for 'mass' moments involving their favourite star.' Meanwhile, Sudeep has also teamed up again with Anup Bhandari for Billa Ranga Baasha. The actor-director duo is back after the investigative action thriller Vikrant Rona (2022). Billa Ranga Baasha, billed as a futuristic action drama, is produced by Primeshow Entertainment, the banner behind the hit Telugu superhero movie HanuMan.

Hypeman, The Star can take centre stage
On the strength of their hit-outs at Sungai Besi on the morning of July 1, two last-start winners signalled their intentions rather clearly. Both Hypeman and The Star turned in impressive gallops and, if they can carry that form to the races on July 6, they could be looking at race-to-race doubles. Hypeman, from the stables of trainer Simon Dunderdale, clocked 39sec for the 600m while Lawson Moy's The Star caught the eye when running out the same trip in 41.6sec. Hypeman, who is down to contest the Max 2 sprint over 1,200m, won on debut in good fashion. The Dundeel four-year-old came off fourth spot at the 400m mark to win going away by two lengths in that Class 4A event (1,100m) on June 15. After going under the hammer for A$42,500 (S$35,500) at the 2024 Inglis December online sale, Hypeman arrived at his new quarters in Malaysia, knowing what it took to win races. Trained by Matt Laurie in Australia previously, Hypeman ran 11 times on the tracks around South Australia and Victoria, where he scored once over 1,300m at Cranbourne on May 3. He also had three seconds and three thirds to his name. The bay galloper is a progressive sort and Dunderdale - who also owns the gelding - would have big plans for him. As for The Star, he has a date with the starter in the Class 4A race (1,020m). Unlike Hypeman, who is one-from-one in Malaysia, The Star was at his seventh Malaysian run for Moy at his last-start win in a Class 4B contest (1,100m) on June 15. Before that, he was under the care of trainer Tim Fitzsimmons at Kranji. While there, the Buffalo Stable-owned gelding raced 26 times and won two races over 1,200m, first on Nov 5, 2022 and the next on Oct 28, 2023. After finishing third at his last race at Kranji on March 30, 2024, The Star moved to his new base in Selangor and immediately caught the attention of racegoers when he got up by a head from Race For Fame in a nail-biting finish at his first test in Malaysia on Oct 12, 2024. To date, the Hallowed Crown six-year-old has picked up four wins in Kuala Lumpur and placed in three other runs. His last win, on June 15, was a gem. Ridden by Laercio de Souza and having to clear that disadvantaged gate 10 in the field of 11, The Star soon found a spot behind the leader, Cool Sixty-One. He was content to play a stalking role, but the fun began at the furlong mark when de Souza said "go". Off went The Star and, at the post, he had put 5½ lengths between himself and the chasing pack. The Star will turn seven on Aug 1. On paper, he might seem old, but on his current form, there is still loads of racing left in that tight and taut frame of his. Then, there was Te Akau Ben. Another one from the Dunderdale yard, he clocked a smart 38.4sec for his training gallop over the 600m. That, after a spot of cantering on a track rated "good". While the Tavistock seven-year-old won his previous six races in Singapore when prepared by Donna Logan, he also saluted in a Metro A event (1,600m) at Sungai Besi on March 1. It could have been eight, but he had to settle for third at his last two runs on June 22 and May 17. The reigning champion trainer in Malaysia will be looking to have more good seasons with the New Zealand-bred, who will turn eight on Aug 1. Finally, from the morning trackwork on July 1, we suggest you take note of Achilles Pegasus. A resident at trainer Wayne Lim's yard since August 2024, Achilles Pegasus turned in a pleasing workout, running the 600m in 41.2sec. The son of Per Incanto had five trials before Lim sent him to the races. He made his debut in the Betmakers Cup (1,400m) on Dec 1, 2024, and repaid part of his purchase price of NZ$100,000 (S$77,400) when he took third in that race won by Rocky Bhai. The three-year-old galloper finished third on two other occasions before breaking through for his first win. That was in the UPBH Platinum Horse Club Trophy (1,400m) on March 16, and Achilles Pegasus beat Pulse Bomb by 1¼ lengths. It was an untidy finish as he laid in in the straight, and had to survive an objection by the second-placed runner before he could claim his maiden victory. Granted his last two runs in open company were dismal, but he takes on Class 4 runners over 1,400m on July 6 and, on the strength of his training gallop, we should see a much improved performance. brian@

Rokid's new AR glasses are pretty much a face-hugging laptop in disguise
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Rokid's AR Spatial glasses ditch the traditional desk and toss a massive 300-inch virtual screen right in your face. At just 75 grams and made with aerospace-grade materials, the Max 2 glasses are built for long hauls, and they play nice with prescription eyewear. Powered by Rokid's own YodaOS Master, the system handles multiple windows and apps without the lag or bugginess you'd expect from typical AR gear. Rokid today released the AR Spatial glasses that aim to blend AR into your everyday life, ditching the usual desk setup and changing how (and where) you get things done. AR Spatial's setup pairs the Max 2 AR glasses with the new Station 2 hub, and together they whip up a giant 300-inch virtual screen that hangs in your line of sight. Rokid's announcement says it's built with the always-on-the-go crowd in mind, so it might just be useful for remote workers juggling apps or anyone tired of squinting at a cramped laptop screen in busy spots. The Max 2 AR glasses are lightweight at just 75 grams and tough enough thanks to aerospace-grade materials. They're comfy enough to wear for hours, and if you've got prescription glasses, they'll fit right over them without a hitch. These AR glasses also have built-in diopter adjustment from 0.00D to -6.00D for nearsighted users, plus customizable pupillary distance so everything lines up just right. AR Spatial skips the usual AR headache and just works with what you already have, like your phone, tablet, or laptop. If you want the full desktop experience, just hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and you've got a portable setup that actually feels familiar. Rokid's AR Spatial runs on its own custom OS, YodaOS Master. You can juggle multiple virtual windows, jump between apps without lag, and skip the usual slowdowns that drag other AR glasses down. Rokid's AR Spatial has already made the rounds at big-name events like CES 2025 and Milan Design Week. It's not the cheapest gear out there, but at $648, the AR Spatial bundle brings a lot to the table. If you want to knock the price down, just punch in LAUNCH70 at checkout and it drops to $578. You can snag it now from Rokid's site or one of its retail partners.
