Sudeep’s Decision to Step Away from Hero Roles
In a heartfelt conversation with Raghavendra Chitravani on a podcast, Kichcha Sudeep opened up about his evolving perspective on acting.

Not an Exit from Creativity but a Shift in Focus
Sudeep was quick to clarify that his decision is not driven by a loss of love for acting. Instead, it stems from a desire to explore different avenues within the film industry. "The ones I give up on are not bad; it’s about what I want to do at this point in time," he emphasized.
