India, Dec. 23 -- In a recent promotional interview for his next, Mark, Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep was asked about the state of affairs in Sandalwood, what with only 2 films ( Su from So and Kantara Chapter 1) having achieved some level of success in 2025. Sudeep said that as far as the rest of the 240-odd films that released in theatres this year go, there were a lot of genuine efforts to entertain and do something different. It's not that audiences have completely given up on the theatre experience; every now and then something does catch their fancy - it may not be a Kannada film, though. Like, for instance, Dhurandhar taking the country by storm now.
