About Vikrant Rona Movie

Vikrant Rona is a Kannada action thriller film written and directed by Anup Bhandari, produced by Jack Manjunath and co-produced by Alankar Pandian. The film stars Sudeepa in the title role, alongside Milana Nagaraj, Nirup Bhandari, Neetha Ashok, and Jacqueline Fernandez.

The collaboration between Sudeepa and Anup Bhandari was initially planned for a project titled Billa Ranga Baasha, but it was put on hold when Sudeepa heard a new script from Bhandari. After hearing the script, Sudeepa decided to star in Vikrant Rona himself, with the decision to produce the film as well. The film is produced by Manjunath Gowda’s Shalini Arts, with Alankar Pandian joining as a co-producer.

Filming began on 2 March 2020 in Hyderabad under the working title Phantom, but production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The crew resumed shooting in July 2020 at Annapurna Studios, Hyderabad, where large-scale sets were created. Additional filming took place in Malshej Ghat, Mahabaleshwar, and Kerala. The film is notable for being the first Kannada movie to utilize the advanced real-time 3D creation tool Unreal Engine.

Jacqueline Fernandez joined the cast for a prominent role, including a song appearance. Nirup Bhandari, Neetha Ashok, Ravishankar Gowda, Madhusudhan Rao, and Vasuki Vaibhav also play pivotal roles in the film.

Sudeepa has hinted at the possibility of a sequel to Vikrant Rona in an interview.

Vikrant Rona was released worldwide on 28 July 2022, in both 3D and 2D versions, across more than 3,000 screens. The film had initially been scheduled for release on 19 August 2021, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was postponed twice—first to 24 February 2022, and then to its final release date. Alongside the original Kannada version, the film was dubbed and released in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and English.

The film’s release included 450 screens in Karnataka and 87 screens in Kolkata. The budget was originally set at ₹15 crore but was increased to ₹95 crore due to the film’s scale and promotional expenses. The Telugu version was released in 370 screens initially and maintained screenings in 320 theatres during the second week.

The satellite rights for the Kannada version were acquired by Zee Kannada, and the digital rights were sold to ZEE5. The film premiered on ZEE5 on 2 September 2022, while the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu versions were streamed on Disney+ Hotstar from 16 September 2022.
