25 days ago | 5 Views

On January 22, the Karnataka State Film Awards for 2019 were announced, with Kiccha Sudeep being named Best Actor for his performance in director S Krishna’s Pailwaan. This recognition came more than two decades after his last win for Nandhi. Despite the outpouring of congratulations, Sudeep chose to politely decline the award.

In a social media post, Sudeep expressed that his focus on entertaining people has never been driven by the desire for awards. He acknowledged that the recognition from the jury gave him the confidence to continue striving for excellence. However, as he had decided years ago to stop accepting awards, he will remain committed to that decision and not accept the state award.

In his social media post, Sudeep wrote, “There are many deserving actors who have poured their hearts into their craft and would appreciate this prestigious recognition far more than I would. It will only make me happier to see one of them receiving it.” He also apologized to the jury and the state government for any disappointment his decision might have caused.

Currently enjoying the success of his latest release Max, Sudeep is now focusing on his next project, Billa Rangaa Baasha, with Vikrant Rona director Anup Bhandari. The film will be made in two parts, requiring a significant amount of time. Before diving into this, Sudeep will host the grand finale of Bigg Boss Kannada for the last time this weekend.

After 11 successful seasons, Sudeep has decided to step away from hosting Bigg Boss Kannada, citing the challenges of balancing his shooting schedules and commitments to the reality show. With a focus on his evolving career, the actor shared that he plans to continue as a leading hero for the next 2-3 years. Beyond that, he envisions taking on different roles in the film industry, including behind-the-scenes work, as he shifts away from supporting roles.
