His next release is Billa Ranga Baashaa (BRB) , the much-anticipated collaboration with director Anup Bhandari. The film is being mounted on a grand scale and is set in the futuristic world of 2209. The project had completed an initial shooting schedule before production was paused during the making of Mark. It is now expected to resume filming in June 2026.
Additionally, Kichcha Sudeepa is said to be actively developing four more projects spanning diverse genres and storytelling formats. Among them is a film that could mark his long-awaited return to direction. The actor-filmmaker last helmed Maanikya in 2014.

Maanikya is an action drama that follows an architect who returns from abroad to reform his ancestral village, only to uncover deep-rooted family feuds, betrayals, and the truth about his exiled parents. The film was both a massive commercial success and critically acclaimed. It was also a remake of Mirchi, starring Prabhas .
