Kabzaa to release in 7 Indian languages

For director R Chandru, Kabzaa is a dream project.

Kannada

superstars Upendra and Sudeep headline this ambitious gangster drama that is based on a story that plays out between 1946 and 1984.

Ever since resuming the shooting in February post lockdown, things have been progressing at a brisk pace. “We erected 40 sets across locations in Hyderabad, Jharkand, Mumbai, Bangalore, Mangalore and Pondicherry. A lot of thought went into selecting every property on the sets, to reflect the different timeframes accurately. The film will transport the audience into another era,” beams Chandru.

Producers MTB Nagaraj and Lagadapati Sridhar are bankrolling Kabzaa under Sri Siddeshwara Entertainments banner. After KGF, the makers are gearing up for another multilingual release with Kabzaa. Shot simultaneously in Telugu and Kannada, the film will release in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Odia and Marathi. “We are working day and night, aiming for a pan-India release in September as Upendra’s birthday falls in that month,” says Chandru.
