Devaraaya Adds to the Excitement
The social media milestone comes at an exciting time in Sudeep's career. On his birthday on September 2, 2026, the actor unveiled his next major project, Devaraaya, a historical period film in which he will portray the legendary Vijayanagara emperor Sri Krishnadevaraya.
The first-look material presents Sudeep in an elaborate royal appearance, complete with traditional attire, jewellery and a striking crown. The announcement has generated considerable interest among Kannada cinema fans, particularly because the role marks Sudeep's entry into a major historical character.
Devaraaya is being produced by TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad under People Media Factory and presented by Priya Sudeep's Supriyanvi Picture Studio. Music is being composed by Gowra Hari K, while PMF VFX is associated with the project's visual effects. The makers are targeting a December 2027 theatrical release.
A Busy Phase for Sudeep
Sudeep's career continues to move across different genres and platforms. Alongside Devaraaya, he is associated with Billa Ranga Baashaa: First Blood, his collaboration with director Anup Bhandari following Vikrant Rona. He is also returning as the host of Bigg Boss Kannada Season 13, which is scheduled to premiere on September 6, 2026.
For Sudeep's millions of followers, the 3-million milestone is another celebration of the bond between the actor and his audience. With major projects ahead, the Kannada star is entering another interesting chapter of his career, and fans are eagerly waiting to see his transformation into Sri Krishnadevaraya on the big screen.
