Kichcha Sudeep: My mother was keen to watch Max

With Max gearing up for release on December 25, Sudeep is equal parts relieved and excited. "If we had postponed this film to next year, I would have been deeply disappointed. It has already been two and a half years since my last film, and fans have expressed their dissatisfaction over the delay. Releasing Max this year brings them and myself immense joy," the actor explained during a media interaction alongside producer Kalaipuli S Thanu, director Vijay Karthikeya, and the entire cast and crew. While addressing various questions including back-to-back releases of UI and Max, Sudeep remarked about choosing Max, "The speed and content of the narrative impressed me. I signed up for Max because it is a film with substance."

Max marks the foray of producer Kalaipuli S Thanu in the Kannada film industry, who is backing the project under the V Creations banner. "This action thriller is sure to captivate the audiences," says the producer. Speaking about this major collaboration, Thanu expressed deep admiration for Sudeep’s dedication and versatility, saying, "Sudeep is an outstanding actor. He works tirelessly, with unmatchable passion and commitment. Beyond being a brilliant actor, he is also a director, and his involvement elevates every project."
