India, Jan. 6 -- It's been a while since Kiccha Sudeep had a full-fledged romantic interest in a film; 2021's Kotigobba 3 is when Madonna Sebastian was paired with him. 2022's Vikrant Rona featured Milana Nagaraj opposite him, albeit in a limited role, while 2024's Max and 2025's Mark had no space for romance. It's not that Sudeep is averse to the idea of romancing onscreen now; he just does not believe it is integral to all stories. He's definitely not keen to force-fit it into narratives that do not require such diversions. But Sudeep also recognises that his fans like seeing him in light-hearted romantic comedies, a genre he's not attempted in recent times.
