The film has been shot on a massive scale and it’ll release in the 3D format. Sudeep said he’s excited about the release. “After enjoying the process of preparations and its making, it’s now time for a new excitement. We the team of #VikrantRona are all excited and happy to mark August 19th 2021 as its theatrical release,” read his tweet.

In February, the teaser and title logo of Vikrant Rona were unveiled at the Burj Khalifa in a grand manner. The event was organised to celebrate Sudeep completing 25 years as an actor.

Directed by Anup Bhandari, the film was earlier titled Phantom and was recently changed to Vikrant Rona. Tipped to be an action-thriller, Sudeep plays a character called Vikrant Rona in the movie.

Vikrant Rona was the first mainstream Kannada film to resume shooting from July last year amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In a recent report by Cinema Express, producer Manjunath Gowda opened up on going back to sets amid the pandemic.

“The decision was taken by the production house in consultation with the actor and director after the government granted us permission to start film shoots. A limited crew, including me, Sudeep, director Anup Bhandari, and a few others, will be in institutional quarantine for seven days, before we start the shoot,” producer Manjunath Gowda was quoted in the report.
